Lot : 28

Rare Seder Selichos According to the Customs of France and Ashkenaz.  Lunéville, 1799. 

Opening bid: $500

Rare Seder Selichos According to the Customs of France and Ashkenaz.  Lunéville, 1799. 


Selichos for the Yamim Noraim and fasts with Yiddish translation (Ivri-Teitsch) and Yotzros for Yom Kippur.

This is a rare Selichos edition intended for people living in France and Ashkenaz and printed in their country, where many of the first Ashkenazi lyricists lived.

These Selichos were printed for local use, unlike the Venice and Amsterdam printings and others, which were intended for worldwide distribution.

A need arose for a local printing of the Selichos because of the Napoleonic Wars in the period immediately preceding the printing of the Selichos, which prevented the importation of sefarim from other countries. Thus this present edition was locally printed in France.

The first title page is made of a beautiful woodcut with an illustration of Yonah HaNavi (as an allusion to the name of the printer Yonah Wilstadt), and an illustration of the three patriarchs: Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov in his dream.

One of the earliest of the few Hebrew books printed in the city of Lunéville.

Beautiful copy; white paper with nice margins, boasting red gilded edges.

Lunéville (northeastern France), 1799.


Page Count: [2], 261 leaves.

Size: 25 cm.

Condition: Good; a small tear in the margins of a single page. A few stains. Antique leather binding, golden embossments on the spine (worn out).

Provenance: William Gross Collection, Tel Aviv.
