Sefer Avodat HaKodesh which is known as Marot Elokim, by Rabbi Meir ben Gabai. Lemberg 1848. The first two parts bound together. A rare copy which also has a title page for the first section. On the back of the title page is an approbation from Rabbi [Yekutiel Asher] Anschel Zausmer of Lvov. An extremely rare copy. In almost all of the copies which were printed the aforementioned title page and approbation are missing! So much so that in the catalogue of the National Library is written: "it seems that a title page for part one was not printed".
On the title page and in the middle of the book are three signatures of Rabbi Shmuel Heller (1803- 1884), the rabbi of Safed for over forty years.
Part one: Chelek HaYichud. 49 [should be: 45] pages.
Part two: Chelek HaAvodah. 20, 25-65 [should be: 69] pages.
Condition: Good-Very Good. Tiny moth signs on a few pages. A new Bristol cover.
