Edition originale
First and only edition of this extremely rare and important bibliography of books and manuscripts in Hebrew and Yiddish up to 1863, with the almost equally rare supplement. Over 15,000 items thoroughly described. Title-pages in Hebrew, Russian, Latin, and German. Text in Hebrew (some titles in Yiddish), in two columns. Over 700 pp. Printed in a very small edition, much of which has surely been destroyed. WITH THE 481-PAGE SUPPLEMENT BY MENACHEM MENDEL SLATKINE, published in 1965. Slatkine provides numerous additions, corrections, and notes to the original work, as well a s a complete index. Small 4tos. Bound in original hardcover bindings. Light wear, else fine and bright. Slatkine also has dustjacket (none issued with Benjacob). Brisman gives a long, detailed, and highly favorable account of these works (A History and Guide to Judaic Bibliography, pp. 19-24, 33, etc.), in which he calls them "the most reliable and accurate Hebrew bibliography.".
