Orchos Chaim-Shoshanas Yaakov
Venice, 1623
___

Orchos Chaim– the Will of Rabbi Eliezer Hagadol published together with Shoshanas Yaakov written by Harav Yaakov Heilprunn of Padua, author of Shu”t Nachlas Yaakov.

Shoshanas Yaakov contains deep wisdom and magic tricks! Examples are methods of surmising which number a person is thinking, revealing an item that a person chose without seeing it, making an egg hover in the air without touching it, writing secret codes, and speaking sign language!

On his journey to Eretz Yisrael, the Shl”a Hakadosh passed through Italy where he met the author and wrote an approbation to his sefer Nachlas Yaakov. In his inscription, he adds, “This is a work of the history of man…I have seen it, and it contains the wisdom of G-d…”

Venice, 1623. 12 leaves. Page size: 15.5 cm. Small and very rare booklet. Good condition. Leaves of sefer are uncropped and have remained as when they were printed. Attractive new half-leather binding
