-- Dear Clients,
The special auction of unique and rare items, which was held before Passover, was a great success. 92% of the items were sold at good prices. We are happy to announce a new auction, which includes a wide variety of items. *The auction will be held TODAY AND TOMORROW, Tuesday-Wednesday, July 4th-5th, 17:00PM (Israel time)*, in our office, 2 Maimon St., Jerusalem *,* in the building of Mossad Ha'Rav Kook (under the Cords Bridge, near the Jerusalem Central Bus Station). The catalog before you presents excellent items, which have been thoroughly researched, of all fields of collecting. We shall note but a few: Under the category of manuscripts, we present, among others, a complete composition on the Torah, in nice orderly script, the early 19th century, a composition that has never been printed. Under the category of Letters by Rabbis and Rebbes, there are some items that have never been seen in auctions! Among these is a letter by the hidden Tsaddik Rabbi Naftali Chaim Horowitz of Jikov. The complete letter is handwritten and signed by him. Jerusalem 1882. Under the category of incunabulum, we present important items such as a collection of leaves from Maimonides' commentary on the Mishnah, first edition – Napoli 1592. Soncino printing press. An extremely rare incunabula. You will also find important Hassidic books, copies of prominent rabbis and Rebbes, the 18th and 19th centuries, books with handwritten glosses, first and rare editions and more. Among others, you will find a unique book bearing the signature of one of the thirty six Hidden Tsaddikim. The book is Ma'ase Rokeach – Venice, 1742 – with the signature of the Hidden Tsaddik Rabbi Yosef Shmuel Schwartz, the grandfather of Rabbi Akiva Yosef Schlesinger, author of "Lev Ha'Ivri". The Chatam Sofer said of Rabbi Yosef Shmuel Schwartz that he was one of the thirty six Hidden Tsaddikim, adding that "it is not my custom to exaggerate!" A special category in the catalog is dedicated to Passover Haggadot. Under this category we present special and impressive items of the collection of Moshe Ya'ari, who was one of the leading collectors of Haggadot in the world. (He is the brother of the bibliographer and researcher Avraham Ya'ari, author of "Bibliographia shel Haggadot Pesach") Our catalog ends with a variety of special items under the category of recent Jewish history: Jewish communities, the Holocaust and She'erit Ha'Pleta, Jewish life in the Land of Israel during the Turkish and British rule, the Zionist movement, the establishment of the State and more. These items include books, engravings, photographs and postcards, some of them extremely rare and have never been seen in auctions. *To view the catalog and participate in the live auction: **Bidspirit* <https://jgold.bidspirit.com/>*, **LiveAuctioneers* <https://www.liveauctioneers.com/jerusalem-of-gold-ltd>*, **Invaluable* <http://www.invaluable.com/auction-house/jerusalem-of-gold-ltd.-nrklqxfbrp> *.* *Wishing you a pleasant summer and enjoyable collecting* *Jerusalem of Gold Auctions* 053-7082521 In case you have further questions, please contact us at [email protected] or call Best regards, The Jerusalem of gold' team
