Passover Haggadah, with the Abarbanel and other commentaries. Amsterdam: Solomon Proops, [1712].
The title page is preceded by a frontispiece depicting the figures of Moshe and Aharon, and the scene of Moshe with the burning bush. A folded plate with the map of Eretz Israel is bound at the end of the Haggadah. The illustrations and map are copper-engravings created by the convert Avraham ben Yaakov (from the Amsterdam 1695 Haggadah).
On the title page, on leaf 2 and in several other places, stamps of Rebbe "Chaim Elazar Shapiro Rabbi of Munkacs".
Rebbe Chaim Elazar Shapiro Rabbi of Munkacs (Mukachevo; 1872-1937) was a leading Torah scholar, halachic authority, rebbe and kabbalist in his generation. He was the son of R. Tzvi Hirsh Rabbi of Munkacs author of Darchei Teshuva, and grandson of R. Shlomo Shapiro Rabbi of Munkacs author of Shem Shlomo. A scion of the illustrious lineage of Rebbe Tzvi Elimelech of Dynów author of Bnei Yissaschar, and from his mother's side, of the illustrious lineage of Rebbe Naftali of Ropshitz (grandfather of his mother's father, Rebbe Chanina Horowitz Rabbi of Ulanów – see previous item). He battled to preserve the sanctity of the Jewish people, and his teachings in Halacha and Kabbalah were disseminated throughout the Jewish world. His books include: Responsa Minchat Elazar, Shaar Yissachar, Nimukei Orach Chaim, Divrei Torah – 9 parts, and more.
Darchei Chaim VeShalom (first published in Munkacs 1940) records the extraordinary practices of the Minchat Elazar while leading the Seder table, and describes his thunderous recital of the Haggadah, with interruptions to present passionate Torah thoughts. It documents how he would eat very little during the Seder meal, consumed by the fiery emotions that enveloped him on this great night. It also relates how he would cry bitterly in places, and would pour out his heart in yearning melodies during Hallel, singing with holy gestures in some passages (pp. 204-210).
[1], 31 leaves + [1] folded map. 28.5 cm. Fair condition. Numerous stains, dark food and wine stains (covering most of the leaf in some places). Marginal tears, close to illustrations in some instances and affecting text on one leaf (this leaf is repaired with paper and handwritten text replacement). Map complete and in good condition, with minute loss to margins, and tear professionally restored, without loss. New, fine leather binding.
Yaari 73; Otzar HaHaggadot 120 (for more information regarding this Haggadah, see article by Cecil Roth, HaHaggadah HaMetzuyeret ShebiDfus, Areshet, III, 1961, p. 24).

Afsei Eretz, homilies on the Torah, by R. Yisrael Efraim Fishel Sofer Rabbi of Nanash (Hajdúnánás). Parts I and II, on the books of Bereshit and Shemot. Munkacs (Mukachevo), 1899. First edition.
Owner's stamp (faded) on the first page of the preface: "Yeshaya son of R. Moshe, who attended the righteous Rebbe of Liska, in Kerestur".
The copy of R. Yeshaya Steiner of Kerestir (Bodrogkeresztúr; 1852-1922), disciple and successor of Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Liska (Olaszliszka), author of Ach Pri Tevua. He was orphaned from his father at the age of three and was raised in the home of R. Tzvi Hirsh of Liska from the age of twelve. Drawn to Chassidism, he frequented the courts of Rebbe Chaim Halberstam of Sanz and Rebbe Mordechai of Nadvorna. However, his primary rebbe and mentor remained Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Liska, and he eventually became his close attendant (even when R. Yeshaya already served as rebbe, with throngs flocking to his court from all over Hungary, he would still sign with his stamp and on his letters: "…who attended the righteous Rebbe of Liska"). Rebbe Yeshaya was revered by the leading rebbes of his day, including Rebbe Chaim of Sanz and Rebbe Yissachar Dov of Belz (who stated that the "key to sustenance" is in the hands of R. Yeshaya of Kerestir). He performed thousands of charitable deeds, personally engaging himself in hospitality, and was considered one of the pillars of kindness and prayer in his times. He was renowned as a holy man, and thousands of Jews (as well as non-Jews) from all over Hungary would travel to his court to seek his advice. He was also renowned as a wonder-worker and for providing amulets. Until this day, his portrait is hung in homes as a segulah against mice. The story behind this custom is related in his biography, Mei Be'er Yeshayahu.
[11], 87, [1], 96, [3] leaves. Lacking one of the four last leaves, containing the list of subscribers ("prenumeranten"). 25.5 cm. Fair condition. Title page repaired with paper to verso.

Several leaves stuck to each other at top margin. New binding.

Many stamps of Rebbe Yoel of Satmar, from his tenure as rabbi of Irshava [prior to 1925]: "Yoel Teitelbaum Rabbi of Irshava and the region". Early signature at the top of the title page: "Hertz Schick".
Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar (1887-1979) was the youngest son of Rebbe Chananya Yom Tov Lipa, the Kedushat Yom Tov (1836-1904), and grandson of Rebbe Yekutiel Yehuda, the Yitav Lev (1808-1883), who served as rabbis of Sighet (Sighetu Marmației) and were leaders of Chassidic Jewry in the Maramureș region.
