Two early rare calendars. Autographed by the author
* Calendar through 1959, including moldot and tekufot. With all the holidays and fasts and predictions regarding the weather, price of living, medicine and more. Warsaw, [1845].
The colophon at the end of the calender features the printer's name:...Avraham Mordechai b. Isser Rappaport. The calendar opens with the year 1846, including various charts, a large illustration of a palm with signs for designating the tekufot hashana and a lenghty explanation for understanding the hints. The last pages features hints for predicting the future - rainy or arid years, years of bounty or scarcity, and times auspicious for cures. [12] leaves. 16x20 cm. Mispaginated. The width of the leaves are not uniform. Jacket title page, not bound. Aging stains. Fine-moderate condition.
* Nieto's Jewish Almanac for One Hundred Years. New York, 1902. Published by Burr Printing House.
The endpaper bears an inscription from the author to the mayor of London. The second page features a picture of the author with protective tissue paper. The calendar includes Jewish dates from 1902-2002. 14x23 cm. Worn hard cover. Fine condition.
