Miniature Calendar for the Hebrew Year 5470 (1719-1720) - Wilhermsdorf - with All the Fairs and Markets in Various Villages - Unique and Extremely Rare! Totally Unknown!
Miniature Calendar for the Hebrew year 5470 (1719-1720) that was printed in Wilhermsdorf in 1719 by the printing press of Zvi Hirsch ben Chaim of Furth.
"With laws and customs of all the days of the year, and we have added all the fairs and markets in various villages".
The calendar does not appear in the National Library and in other libraries in Israel. It is not listed by the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book.
Before us is the complete calendar, which has not been cut in the printing process. An important bibliographic revelation. Thus, it can be implied that the copies of this calendar had never been cut and sold to the public. The copy before was taken from a binding Geniza.
It is most likely that it the only copy in the world that had survived.
19x31 cm.
