Printer's Mark appears at the end of "Igeret HaTeshuva" and at the end of "Igeret HaKodesh".
Inscription and ownership inscription.
Incomplete copy. 8-90, [2] ff. Lacking [9] initial leaves (title page and following leaves; originally: [2], 90, [2] ff.). Misfoliation. 16 cm. Bluish paper. Good-fair condition. Stains, including dampstains. Wear. Tears and open tears, affecting text in several places, some restored with paper. Many inscriptions to endpapers.
In 1815, the printing press of R. Mordechai son of R. Shmuel Horowitz in Shklow closed down and was replaced with the press of R. Azriel Zelig son of Yaakov, who purchased the printing blocks from the former printer. R. Azriel Zelig operated his printing press from 1815-1824 and this edition was printed during those years. The text of the title page of this edition was fully copied from the 1814 Shklow edition, including the year. The entire edition was printed leaf for leaf and line for line according to the 1814 edition, with the exception of Igeret HaKodesh whose layout is different.
