Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim. Frankfurt 1677.
Extremely rare edition!
Edited by David Claudius. Beltsher Christof Vaust printing press. That same year Vaust printed another edition; however, the edition before us is the revised one: textual variations which in the other edition were written at the end of the book were written in this edition on wide margins. In addition, the "table of errors" was omitted and the errors were corrected inside the book.
A most impressive, thick volume. Original binding. On the Forsazt leaf, an ancient signature in Acadian script: "Noah Avraham ben Rabbi David Weill of Frankfurt". A signature in a foreign language. Ancient, handwritten comments on the margins of the leaves.
[8], 686, [2] leaves.
Condition: Good. Time stains. Loose front binding. The title page and the first two leaves are professionally restored.
