"Eizeh Halachot MiYad HaChazaka" - Auszuge aus dem Buche Jad-Haghasakkah, the censored Rambam in a set of five volumes, published by the Ministry of Education in Tsarist Russia. St. Petersburg, 1850. Four parts in five volumes. Hebrew and German.
The title page of part IV states that the book was printed "based on the responsa of our rabbis and scholars", with a list of Russian rabbis (some of the names where misspelled). The rabbis mentioned include "R. Menachem of Lubavitch" (the Tzemach Tzedek Rebbe of Lubavitch) and "the late R. Y. of Volozhin" (R. Itzele of Volozhin).
This edition of Yad HaChazaka by the Rambam was censored and revised by the Tsarist government in Russia, as part of the government's interference in Jewish education and the trend to impose the Enlightment upon the Jewish boys' schools and educational institutions. Apart from the German translation, this edition includes "Notes on the Rambam", containing customized "commentaries" promoting loyalty to the Tsarist government. These include: "General study according to Torah laws, regarding honor and laws of contemporary nations...", "Honoring the monarchy" - "Regarding our duty to love and honor our master the Tsar, with heart and soul", "Comment on monetary laws" ("We have presented this laws only in commemoration of days bygone, and for Torah study of what used to be"), etc. Laws of Kings was completely omitted from this edition.
This edition of the Rambam was published against the will of the rabbis mentioned on the title page. The proposal to teach children the Rambam's work was raised by the government in the 1843 St. Petersburg convention, and it was unanimously rejected by the participating rabbis. The government nevertheless published and distributed these books. The Tzemach Tzedek, who is mentioned amongst those who gave their approbation to this book, was in fact strongly opposed to this initiative, and actually sent letters to various government representatives, as part of his efforts to prevent the printing of this edition (see Igrot Kodesh of the Tzemach Tzedek, 2013 edition, pp. 73-77, 85-87).
Four parts in five volumes (part IV in two volumes). Multiple paginations. Part I lacking the two Hebrew title pages. Part II lacking first 3 leaves of German section (including the two title pages). Part III lacking one leaf in middle. Pages 923-953 of Hilchot Mamrim, which belong to part IV, were bound in the middle of part III. 17-18 cm. Overall good-fair condition. Stains. Dampstains and signs of past dampness in several places. Open tear to title page of part II, and tears affecting text in other places. Several detached leaves. Old half-leather bindings. Damage and wear to bindings.

week and the dates were completed by hand.
Enclosed is a printed paper label, in Russian and German, which was used for sending packages to war prisoners in Siberia (Kriegsgefangenen-Sendung).

Yaarot Devash, Part I, homily and ethics, by R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz. Vienna, 1818.
An engraved portrait of the author appears at the beginning of the volume: "Portrait of the rabbi and outstanding Torah scholar, R. Yehonatan, rabbi and dean of the Three Communities [Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek]".
The engraved portrait of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz was published in 1764/1765, shortly after his passing, with the caption: "Portrait of R. Yehonatan, rabbi and dean of the Three Communities - produced by the physician Elimelech Pulder son of Shimshon, in 5525". The engraving featured in this book is a later engraving, by the artist Jos. Seher, and it is based on the portrait by Dr. Elimelech Pulder of Hamburg. It is interesting to note that R. Yaakov Emden (fierce opponent of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz), expressed his disapproval of this portrait (which, as mentioned, was produced shortly after his passing), accusing the disciples of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz of being over-enthusiastic about the portrait of their teacher: "…and at the end of Elul he passed away. They made of him a portrait painted with vermilion, and they hug and kiss it. One of them placed the paper with the portrait in his Chumash in the place of the Ten Commandments" (Megillat Sefer, Bombach edition, Jerusalem 2012, pp. 229-230).
[2], 2-100 leaves. 26.5 cm. Greenish paper. Good-fair condition. Dampstains. Light wear and tears. Old binding, damaged.
