Passover Haggada - Berlin 1785
Passover Haggada, with Ashkenazi translation, grammer notes, and pamphlet Si'ach Yitzchak about grammar, by "The Rabbinical linguist Yitzchak from the house of Levi of Stanov". Berlin, 1785.
Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Stanov (1732-1804), author of VaYe'etar Yitzchak, a tremendous Torah scholar and a strange person, was also renowned for forging many books, some books that he wrote by himself and he attributed them to authors of previous generation, while also forging letters of approbation that were allegedly written for the books by leading rabbis of previous generations. [Some say that he belonged to Mendelson's group of maskilim (Enlightenment Movement) in Berlin]. The translator is his disciple Yoel Brill. Yiddish-Deitsch and Hebrew, page per page.
[4], 58 leaves. 15.5 cm. Good condition, stains. Stamps. Binding without spine.
From Dr. Israel Mehlman's private collection.
