Sefer Bas Ayin – First Complete Edition, Zhitomir 1850 - Sefer Bas Ayin, authored by R. Avraham Dov of Ovritch. Although first printed in Jerusalem in 1847, the present Zhitomir edition is regarded as the first “complete” edition, as it contains new material not found in the first printing.  A lacking copy, missing the following pages: Title page, pp. 115-116, and pp. 127 (final leaf of the Sha’alos U’Teshuvos). It should be noted that the added pages from 123-127 are often lacking in many copies. In this copy, only page 127 is lacking from this rare sequence.  In moderate condition, unbound. Some pages are torn (without loss of text) and loose. Page 58 (115) torn in half, affecting text but without loss.  [1], 114; 118-126 pp.
