Sefer HaYashar by Rabbeinu Tam. Special pocket-sized edition. Printed by the Shapira Brothers. Zhitomir, 1860. - Sefer HaYashar, authored by Rabbeinu Yaakov Tam, Baal HaTosafot. A foundational Mussar work, ”to walk in the upright path before God and man, ” ”a man who has the fear of God in his heart should study this book daily—it shall serve as a reminder for him.” Printed by the Shapira brothers, grandsons of the Rav of Slavuta, in Zhitomir, 1860. It appears the book was printed in a reduced format, as stated at its beginning (quoted above), emphasizing the importance of daily and continuous study of this sacred Mussar work. Therefore, it was printed in a size suitable to be carried in a pocket or coat. 38 leaves. Original damaged binding, pocket edition. Very good condition.
