Printed Leaf with Drawings of the Holy Cities – Altona, 1859 – According to Rabbi Chaim Abulafia
A single leaf in a large form with drawings of Jerusalem and texts describing the cities of Eretz Israel. Altona, 1859.
Written at the top of the leaf: "Account of the genealogy of the holy tzaddikim of Israel and its cities, Shechem, Jerusalem, Hebron and Safed". Next to this inscription is a similar English, German and French translation. The figure of Moshe Rabbeinu is on the right margin and the figure of Aharon the Cohen is on the left margin. In the center of the leaf are four drawings of Jerusalem and two small drawings of the Tomb of Zecharya and the Tomb of Rachel. Printed in the center of the leaf is a text detailing the location of the graves of tzaddikim near the Holy Cities. Printed at the bottom of the leaf is the inscription "If I forget you Jerusalem", drawings of "Yad Avshalom" (a drawing of two hands during Birkat Cohanim), Miriam's Well and a "LaMenatzeach" menorah. Printed on the bottom margin is an inscription citing the source of the text and attributing it to Rabbi Chaim ben Ya'akov Abulafia (the first): "This form has been found written in the handwriting of Rabbi Chaim Abulafia, the Rabbi of Jerusalem and I, R' Binyamin HaCohen Yehoram who sits in the medrash of Sonbol Altona has now printed it". Added on the reverse side are handwritten inscriptions (one is from the 19th century, on the subject of the redemption of Zion).
42X52.5 cm. Good-fair condition. The leaf has had professional, artisan rinsing and restoration. Folding marks, tears to margins, damages and stains (all restored). Missing tear to lower margin (approximately 4X12 cm.) – restored.
