CHASIDSKE PRIBEHY VOLUMES 1 AND 2. 1983. ILLEGAL HASIDIC JEWISH STUDY – BOTH VOLUMES

Prague: s.p., 1983 Two volumes. 
Uniformly, 26.5 x 20cm, 238pp and 255pp respectively. Xerox pages (reproduced both verso and recto) and original plain card covers with tape binding. A complete set of this academic study on the history of Hasidic Judaism in the region. Whilst the post-1968 Czech Communist authorities tended to be less anti-Semitic than their Eastern Bloc partners nonetheless such material as found here could not be easily distributed without some disapproval from the state. One aspect of state disapproval of Judaism is the astonishing statistic that after 1968 almost one third of Czech Jews emigrated from the country! Both volumes are in near fine condition with volume 1 only having minor sunning to rear covers. Volume 1 has a 4pp (folded) schematic map inserted into the back pages as issued.

Price is for both volumes together
