Tractates Zevachim and Menachot, the Press of Rabbi Moshe Shapiro in Slavuta, 1821

Tractates Zevachim and Menachot of the Bavli Talmud, printed at the famed and pedigreed press of Rabbi Moshe Shapiro in Slavuta, 1821.


At the end of Masechet Menachot, Halachot Ketanot, with a separate pagination, printed as one.


The Slavuta printery of the holy Rav Rabbi Moshe Shapiro, the Rav of Slavuta and son of the holy Rav Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz, is considered the most important Chassidic printery, its workers all being pious people of virtue treating even its printing blocks and plates with utmost sanctity. Owning even a single volume of the Bavli Talmud that was printed by the Slavuta printery was considered an achievement, and all the more so a complete set printed by this sacred and pedigreed printery. 


126, [1], 117, 63-88 leaves. Bluish paper. Moth perforations. Detached and blemished binding. Good condition. 


Measurement:  33 cm
