The Fifth Book Of Moses, Called Deuteronomy
moses2.jpg

moses1.jpg

There is sadly no printed date in this very old leather bound book. Book reads from right to left and is in Hebrew and English with explanatory notes at the bottom of each page.
The book was printed by L. Alexander, Printer, 227, Whitechapel Road.
There is a handwritten signature to the front free endpaper that I believe to be "Israel Farjeon".
Condition is fair to good. Lots of wear to the leather, but the internal pages are still nice and clean. Binding still tight.
An unusual and rare book. I would hazard a guess at the publishing date being around 1800. The British Library doesn't appear to own a copy of this book so It's quite difficult to be totally accurate.
