Chamishah Chumshei Torah. Amsterdam, 1817. Unknown Variant

Chamishah Chumshei Torah with the five megillot and the commentary of Rashi with a few supplements from Rashi Yashan, ends with the haftarot for the entire year per the customs of the communities ... Amsterdam at the press of Yochanan Levi Rofeh and his son Binyamin. 1817.

Specifications: 345, 98 leaves. 14 cm.

Unique Features: There are a few known editions of the Chumashim printed by Yochanan Levi Rofeh in 1817. One edition includes the Targum Onkelos and another has both Onkelos and Rashi. This edition has Rashi without Onkelos. The number of leaves in the Torah section is different than in the known editions, however the section with the five megillot and the haftarot includes the same number of pages. Other editions have an additional title page before the megillot and haftarot, this edition does not have this title page.

Condition: Very fine. The blank margins of the title page have been slightly cropped. New, simple binding.
