Before us are the important and well-known booklets authored by the wondrous gaon Rabbi Reuven Margaliot. As is known, Rabbi Reuven printed 7 booklets in the Land of Israel, and before us are six of the seven booklets, including the first and rare booklet, that the editors of Mif'al HaBibliographiah did not see.


Rabbi Reuven Margaliot [1890-1971] was a rabbi, researcher, author of many books, tremendously erudite person and renowned bibliographer. He founded the Ramba"m Library, and was an Israel Prize laureate, as well as being a laureate of the Rabbi Kook Prize for Torah Literature. He was rabbinically ordained at an early age by leading rabbis such as Rabbi Meir Arik, but despite this, he did not accept a rabbinic position; he dealt in the book trade. After his wife's passing, he ascended from Lvov to the Land of Israel, and continued writing the booklets that were designated as "catalogs" but contain important bibliographic information.



* Catalog Hebraica Nr 73 is a list of books for sale at David Frankel's bookshop in Vienna. [1930?]

The catalog includes approximately 500 books divided into three columns, with their prices.

[1] 24 [2] pp.


Rabbi David Frankel [1870-1948] was the rabbi of Husyatyn; he published books by the ancients as a counterweight to the Mekitzei Nirdamim Society in Berlin. Rabbi David established the Dovevei Siftei Yeshenim society in Husyatyn. He later moved to Vienna and opened an institute for book publication and sales. Before us is a catalog list that he published.


Overall fine condition.
