Rare Sefer Tehillim. Basel, 1547

Colophon: Nic. Episcopium... & Basileae apud Hier Frobenium.
The printer’s emblem appears on the title page and on the last page of the sefer.

Basel, 1547. Page Count: [192] leaves. Page Size: 11 cm. Miniscule damage to margins of several pages. Title page with small tear but no damage to text and minor restoration at margin. Antique worn parchment binding with engravings and clasps.
