Talmud Yerushalmi, Seder Kadshim. Tractate Zevachim, by Rabbi Shlomo Yehudah S"T, Known as Friedlander. Wahrahol. 1909. Forged Composition.
Before us is the famed forgery by Shlomo Yeudah HaSepharadi - Friedlander. There is a photocopy of the manuscript from 1212(!) on the back of the first title page; a proven forgery.
As is known, we only have the Talmud Bavli on Seder Kodshim, which deals with the services in the Beit HaMikdash. The above author relates that he acquired a very ancient manuscript from the Benveniste family of Turkey, in which he discovered the Talmud Yerushalmi on Seder Kadshim. The author managed to receive approbations from important public figures, including rabbis and renowned academics. However, it was later discovered that it was an artful forgery, and all the stories about the manuscript's discovery were lies and deception. There were two volumes printed in total, including Tractates Zevachim, Erchin, Chulin and Bechorot. With a lengthy introduction to "prove" the book's veracity.
[8] 100 leaves. Including the table of errata. 33.5 cm. Very fine condition. Somewhat brittle paper.
