Sefer HaKuzari by Rabbi Yehudah HaLevi [known as Rabbi Yitzchak Sengari], Vienna [1796]. The book includes astronomic drawings and charts. Title page in red ink.
Rare approbation at the beginning of the book by the son of the 'Pnei Yehoshua' Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Rosnish, who writes about the book: 'For it fills the house of the soul with light and excites hearts to clear love and awe, and all its words are based on foundations of truth and roots of religion and the principles of pure belief ... It is very proper that in these generations when hearts are diminishing and views are confused, that every G-d-fearing person should not part with this book, and carry it with him, because it is genius and glory to the remnant of Israel ..."
[2] 168 leaves. Pleasant copy with original leather binding [reinforced spine]. Title page in red ink. Red color page cuts. Stains. Fine condition.
