Unique and rare: Kehunat Avraham—first (and only?) edition. Venice 1719. Partially missing copy.
Kehunat Avraham on Psalms: “a rhyming commentary on the Five Books of Psalms, poems…”. A unique work: stanzas of poetry on verses from the Book of Psalms. Each verse gets its own stanza. Divided into five books of Psalms with separate title pages. At the end of each is a “Minchat Bikkurim”, a poem integrating the chapter headings together, and “Pirchei Kehuna”—general chiddushim on each chapter.
By Rabbi Avraham ben Shabtai HaKohen. First edition (seemingly the only one), printed during the author’s lifetime. Catalogued as a rare book by the National Library and others.
