Pedigreed. Single edition. With an approbation by Chacham Zvi. Birkat Avraham on the Torah by Rabbi Avraham Brodo, one of the leading rabbis of Kushta - Venice, 1696. 


Sefer Birkat Avraham, novellae on Sefer Bereshit by Rabbi Avraham Brodo of Kushta. With many approbations by contemporary sages including the rabbis of Venice, where the book was printed. 

A rare approbation by Rabbeinu the Chacham Zvi, who praises the author, writing among others: "מעולם לא נצחני אדם לפרוץ גדר הסכמתי... אך עתה כי האיר ממזרח... אחד היה אברהם המיוחד שבגדולי רבני קושטנדינא רבתי יע"א כאשר עיני ראו ולא זר".


Early notation, apparently North African, on the title page.

של ה' הגדול כמהר"ר שלום הכהן נרו יאיר ויזרח, יציץ ויפרח בקצוי ארץ מערב ומזרח אכי"ר.


[6], 103 leaves. 

New binding. 

Blemished title page, bound at the end of the copy. 

Good condition.
