Basic Book: Rare and Touching! Baruch SheAmar on the Form of the Letters - Kabbalah First Edition Shklow, 1804

Sefer Baruch SheAmar, a short, unique book on Hilchot Stam (scribal script) and the form of the letters by Rabbi Shimshon ben Eliezer, a sage of the 14th century. The book is cited by Maran the Beit Yosef several times and thus became a basic book in the Psikah on Hilchot Stam. At its end, a wonderful commentary on the form of the letters by the author of Sefer HaEshkol.


First edition (although there was an edition already in 1796; yet it was flawed and this one was printed from another manuscript) - Shklow, 1804. 32 leaves. In the National Library, the book appears in the Rare Book Collection. Stefansky Sifrei Yesod 244. 


A touching introduction by the author, revealing why he had titled the book "Baruch SheAmar". He recalls that his parents had brought him and his sisters to Prague and had then passed away when he was only eight years old. He used to say the Baruch SheAmar blessing out loud in the synagogue until he was nicknamed "Baruch SheAmar". 


No binding. Stains.Moth damage. Fair-good overall condition. 


An ancient Ashkenazic signature on the title page: "להאברך...אליהו בן מנדל"
