The Berachot Tractate – Metz, 1770 – Ten Scholarly Glosses by a Few Geniuses – an Extraordinary Item
The Berachot tractate. Metz, 1770. With the commentaries by the Rosh, Maimonides and the Maharsha. At its end [with a separate title page], the book Rav Alfas and its commentators. This edition was printed in a small format. Each original page was printed on two pages.
A special copy from which the geniuses of Israel had studied hundreds of years ago and which they wrote their glosses. the content of the glosses has not been examined properly; yet, they undoubtedly have been written by several well-known geniuses.
On the leaves of the book, there are glosses by at least three writers, possibly five. Often, there are two comments one under the other. There are ancient glosses that have faded during the years. All in all, there are dozens of scholarly glosses that have never been printed.
Ancient signatures and stamps.
Condition: Reasonable. The front binding is missing as well as the title page and leaf 2, which has been completed in ancient script from the time of printing. It too contains scholarly glosses. Wear due to use. Time stains. Single tears. Some of the leaves have been restored a long time ago.
