Large Collection [22] of Rare Books from the Late 16th Century-Early 17th Century – Some of Them First Editions – Dozens of Glosses and Signatures
A large, rare collection of books that were printed during the late 16th century and early 17th century. Most of them were printed in Venice and a few in other places. The books before us are lacking copies; however. Most of them lack only single leaves, often only the title page. These books are rare in and of themselves. In addition, several of them contain scholarly glosses in ancient script which were written close to the time of printing!
Following is a detailed list of the books:
Midrash Shmuel by Rabbi Shmuel de Uçeda. "Printed for the third time". Printed by Daniel Zanetti. 251 [1] leaves. The title page is missing and has been completed by a photocopy. Condition: Good. On the Forsazt leaf, many ancient signatures from the late 17th century, maybe earlier. Among others: "belongs to rabbi Zvi Hirsch"; "the Midrash Shmuel belongs to … Rabbi Meshulam the son of the Naggid … Yekutiel Zalman of K. Reivitz [?]".
