Chamesh Megillot Commentary by the Ralbag – Riva di Trento, 1560
Chamesh Megillot Commentary, by Rabbi Levi ben Gershon (Ralbag). Riva di Trento, 1560. Printed by Anthony Broin.
The first edition of the Ralbag's commentary on the megillot. Contains commentaries on Shir HaShirim, Ruth, Kohelet and Esther (with the exception of Eichah). Written on the reverse side of the title page: "We do not have the fifth (megillah) Eichah and it has disappeared, perhaps he did not write a commentary on Eichah".
The book was published and edited by Rabbi Ya'akov Markri'a, a native of Germany who settled in Italy and was one of the Torah scholars of Venice. He worked as a proofreader for Hebrew books which were printed in the Riva di Trento printing press.
50 leaves, 18 cm. Good condition. Spotting. Worm damages.
