CLASSICS. MASSECHES ZEVACHIM. FIRST EDITION. VENICE 1522. MAGNIFICENT COPY!
Maseches Zevachim, printed by the famed Daniel Bomberg, with the Rashi and Tosfos commentaries.
Individual volume of the first complete edition of the Talmud, and the first edition of this tractate in particular. This edition determined the layout of the page for nearly every subsequent edition of the Talmud. Additionally, this particular edition of the Talmud is virtually free of the encroachments of the censor. For generations, original copies of the Bomberg Talmud have been greatly prized by collectors. They are particularly rare as they had to survive the “burning of the Talmud in Venice” in 1553 and 1568.
Stefansky Hebrew Classics 41. Vinograd Venice 56. Daniel Bomberg press. 121 pages. 36 cm. Overall very fine condition. Some restorations, mainly on the margins, at times affecting a few letters. Page 120 with minor loss of text. Some staining on a few pages. Magnificent modern leather binding.
Unidentified rabbinical glosses.
Opening bid $15,000
