Melechet Machshevet Ha'Chadash. Three sections in one volume. Berdychiv, 1834.

The book was authored by Reb Shalom Bleinker, a resident of Berdychiv.
The book is approbated by the most prominent rabbis, Dayanim of Berdychiv, who explain its importance.
The book was designated mainly for lords and merchants, who needed to be proficient in mathematics for the sake of their business and due to their responsibility for public funds.

At the beginning of the second section (after leaf 4), a folding leaf, "a table".
After the approbations, a prenumeranten (a list of people who ordered copies of a book before its publication).

16x21 cm.
Condition: Good. Some of the leaves are blue. Few moth signs on the first leaves of the book, partially restored tears. Without the Russian title page which appears in some of the copies at the beginning of the book after the first title page. Slight tears (with almost no damage to text) on the above leaf of the table. New binding.
