Sefer Yosef Tehillios - Chida’s Commentary on Tehillim, Livorno 1801. First Edition.

Sefer Yosef Tehillilos, a comprehensive commentary on Tehillim authored by R. Chaim Yosef David Azulai – commonly known as the Chida – and published during his lifetime. The Chida personally proofread and corrected all printing errors and typos present in previous editions, so that the text as well would be entirely accurate. In addition, the Chida placed a special emphasis on the proper pronunciation and Dikduk of the words, which is not common in most editions of the Tehillim. The “Yehi Ratzon” said before and after reciting Tehillim was also corrected by the Chida himself.

This edition is complete with the text of Tehillim, printed together with the Chida’s commentary. 

One of the rarest works authored by the Chida. At the end of the work is a special supplication said as a Tikkun for a sick person, also edited by the Chida himself. 

A complete copy in excellent condition. Printed on high-quality, thick paper. 

[1], 144 pp.
