Exceptionally Beautiful!

Siddur Korban Minchah with Sefer Tehillim – Shapira Press. Slavita, 1832. Exceptionally Rare.


A siddur for the entire year according to the Ashkenaz rite, together with Sefer Tehillim (with a separate title page), with Yiddish translation and numerous additional features. Printed on fine paper in large type by Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Shapira, son of the Rav of Slavita.
A magnificent siddur, printed on blue paper, with portions of the first title page printed in red ink. A fine and elegant printing – an absolutely complete copy in superb condition.

An exceptionally rare siddur, unrecorded bibliographically. (Genazym is aware of only one other copy in the world comparable to the present copy, in the library of our esteemed friend Rabbi Zalman Leib Farkash of New York.)

The volume contains the prayers for the entire year: weekdays, Yamim Noraim, the Three Festivals, together with techinos, yotzros, Selichos, Hoshanos, Perek Shirah, Pirkei Avos, the Pesach Haggadah, Tehillim and Ma’amados, all with instructions and Yiddish translation.



Slavita, 1832.


Printed by the son of the Rav of Slavita, Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Shapira.



Page Count: 110; 142, [4]; 96 leaves (total: 352 leaves).
Size: 23 cm.

The Tehillim and Ma’amados have a separate title page bearing the date 1826. This date originates from an earlier edition of Tehillim printed in 1826; the correct date of the present edition, however, is 1832. Similarly, in the copy in the Farkash collection, the siddur dated 1832 and the Tehillim dated 1826 were originally bound together.

Such instances of differing dates appearing within the same volume are known among books printed in Slavita, Zhitomir, and elsewhere.

The title of the sefer, the printers’ family name “Shapira, ” and the place of printing are printed in red ink. A superb volume, bound in a fine new binding.
