Rare First Edition Rambam with the Kesef Mishnah Commentary - Magnificent Copy!!!
First sefer Mishnah Torah L'HaRambam with the Kesef Mishnah commentary, written by Rabbi Yosef Caro, Venice 1574 – 1576.
The Rambam is printed with the Kesef Mishna commentary on one side and the Maggid Mishnah on the other; the very same layout that remains to this day.
The sefer was sent to print by the Rabbi Yosef Caro, otherwise known as the Beis Yosef, and it is split into four sections with each part bound separately.
This first edition set is exceptionally impressive and in pristine condition.
Part One: (Mada – Zmanim), 1574, [22], 316, Part Two: (Nashim - Kedusha), 1574, [10], 219 (should say: 218), Part Three: (Hafla'ah – Tahara), 1574 [20], 151, [1], Part Four: (Nezikin – Shoftim), 1576, [10], 297, [9] leaves | 29 cm | White paper | Wide margins | Wooden bindings covered in leather
