EMDEN, JACOB BEN ZEVI (YAVEZ). An important edition of the Daily prayer book (siddur) with a valuable commentary including grammatical notes, ritual laws, and various treatises, in three parts, bound in two volumes, with different names as follows: Pelatin Bet-el.... Ammudei Shamayim. Altona: the Author Private Printing Press, 1744-1748. 418 leaves. [and:] Armon Ir ha-Elohim... Sha'arei Shamayim. Altona: the Author Private Printing Press, 1747. 159 leaves. [and:] Birat Migdal Oz... Birkhot Shamayim. Altona: the Author Private Printing Press, 1748. 1-380, 382-395 leaves. At the beginning of this part the author argues that the purpose of circumcision was to increase the pleasures of sexual intercourse. He later cancelled the pages containing this argument (leaves 2-3) and replaced them with new text. Our copy has the new text. (The cancelled text is very rare and appears only in a few copies). This work, forming the third part of the commentary, remained unfinished. FIRST EDITION. Vinograd, Altona 45, 46 and 47; Zedner 236 and 460; Roest 355 and 715; Yudlov, Ginzei Yisrael 214 and 804; Y.
