Maseches Rosh Hashanah. Metz, 1777. Title page illustrated in 1810.


Talmud Bavli, Maseches Rosh Hashanah - small scale edition, with the commentary of the Rosh, Rav Alfas and other Rishonim.
The masechta was printed on its own, and not as part of a set. Two of its pages contain the information found on one page of the regular editions.
This edition was preceded by the printing of the entire Shas in large format. This edition is very different than the edition that preceded it and includes additional commentaries of Rishonim.
The masechta opens with a very impressive, handmade, architectural title page.

Metz edition, 1777.
Missing the original title page, which has been replaced by an impressive, handmade architectural page, from 1810.
Missing leaves 2-6, leaves 2-3 have been replaced in an artistic hand.
Small format 12x20 cm.
Fine condition.
