Strashun (1819-1885) was the founder of the Strashun Library in Vilna. Independently wealthy, he began to study at a young age, became a well-regarded Talmud scholar, and learned several languages. He was a civic leader in Vilna, and a member of the Russian Imperial Bank there. For many of his publications, he wrote under pseudonyms. The library, which opened in 1892, was started with the willed gift of Strashun's personal library. (Warhaftig, Slutsky, EJ) Ex library with minimal markings. New condition.
