(TEHILLIM). Kether Torah - Kether Yoseph [Tehillim]. First edition  with commentary by R. Yosef of Przemysl.   ff. 97. Browned, final leaf laid down. Valmadonna brown boards. Sm. 4to. Vinograd, Berlin 6. Berlin, 1700. Scarce Suppressed Sabbatian Text. This is the second part of Siddur “Kether Malchuth” - complete in its own right, which focuses here on Sepher Tehillim. It has a commentary by R. Yoseph ben Moshe Darshan of Przemysl which was seen by some to be rife with references to Shabthai Tzvi. Consequently, copies were censored, especially after R. Ya’akov Emden publicized the fact in his Torath HaKena’oth (1752).  See B. Naor, Post-Sabbatian Sabbatianism (1999) pp. 76-79; and S.Z. Leiman, Sepher Zikaron by Rabbi Moshe Lifshitz, pp. 885-8.
