About This Item

1854 HEBREW Duties of the Heart Jewish Law Vilnius Lithuania RUSSIA Judaica

A rare, 19th-century traditional Hebrew text printing of the 'Chovot HaLevavot' or 'The Duties of the Heart'.

'Duties of the Heart' was written by 11th-century Rabbi Bahya ibn Paquada – a book which discusses unity with God, characteristics and attributes of God, Jewish worship practices, Jewish law, asceticism, and the immortality of the soul.

Hebrew texts from this era are considered quite rare, but this edition was published in Vilnius, Lithuania while it was under control of the Russian Empire. Nearly half of the population in Vilnius was Jewish in the second-half of the 19th-century so it is unsurprising to find Hebrew books printed in Vilnius.
