Bound together with: Book of Psalms, with an introduction. Be-Fiorda Fürth, Printed by Chaim, son of the late Zvi Hirsch, (1769) (Year 5529 according to the Jewish calendar, corresponding to the year 1769..) 92 leaves. Half-parchment binding with handwritten title and coloured paper cover over wooden boards with a (slightly loose) clasp. Not listed in the VD 18. – Cf. Leopold Löwenstein: On the History of the Jews in Fürth, Part 3: The Hebrew Printing Houses in Fürth, Frankfurt am Main: Golde, 1913, pp. 4 ff., Marvin J. Heller: *Printing the Talmud. A History of the Individual Treatises Printed from 1700 to 1750*, Leiden/Boston/Cologne: Brill, 1999, pp. 161–177. - A very rare Fürth edition of a Tikkun Leil Shavuot and Tikkun Leil Hoshana Rabbah - That collection of excerpts from the Torah, the Prophets and other sacred writings, which is traditionally studied throughout the night during the festivals of Shavuot and Hoshanah Rabbah. Both Tikkunim were regularly printed together in the 18th century; the textual basis for such editions is usually the arrangement following Isaiah Horowitz’s *Schnei Luchot ha-Brit*, together with the Lurianic *Kavvannot*. Fürth was involved in this genre from an early stage: The ‘Tikkunei ha-Moadim’ were published here in 1725 and 1729 and are regarded as the most comprehensive collection of vernacular Kabbalah in Old Yiddish literature.

Zwi Hirsch from Wilhermsdorf – following a seven-year hiatus in Hebrew book printing in Fürth – established a printing works in the Schindelhof (Schindelgasse 10) and ran it for 35 years until his death on 11 September 1772. For a time, his father, Zwi Hirsch b. Chajim (1683–1772), assisted him; he had taken over the Wilhermsdorf press from Israel ben Meir of Prague, headed it from 1712 to 1739 and relocated the business to Fürth in 1739, where he had several works produced until 1753. In total, the press produced a good 80 printed works; and it is regarded as the most significant, longest-lasting and most successful Hebrew printing house in Fürth, protected by a princely Hohenlohe privilege, under which its members were not required to wear the Jewish badge and whose journeymen were permitted to marry solely at the discretion of their principal. For large-scale projects such as illustrated Machzorim, the firm collaborated with its Fürth-based rival, Itzig ben Löb Buchbinder, of Alexanderstraße.
