Tanach. Genoa, 1618.
Torah, Prophets, and Writings. Very precise. Includes markings indicating when what is read is different from what is written [קרי כתיב], capitoli arranged with their signs. Genoa, Kafa Ilan Press, 1618.
Specifications: 369 [1 blank leaf], 124 leaves, 21 cm. High-quality fine paper. The blank page was not recorded in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book.
Vowelized Tanach, printed in two columns. Special title page for the Earlier Prophets, Later Prophets and Writings. The Tanach's title page bears the year 1614 [!]. The five megillot (scrolls) are printed after the Torah.
Unique Features: To minimize vowel usage, the vowels for verses describing the nasis' sacrifices in the portion of Naso were printed only once, as the verses repeat themselves; except for the first verse and part of the last verse, in which the nasi's name changes for each sacrifice.
Condition: Fine-very fine. Aging stains. Antique leather binding with refurbished spine.
