Set of Chamisha Chumshei Torah - Slavita, 1827
A set of five volumes, the Pentateuch, with the Onkelos translation, the Rashi commentary and Siftei Chachamim. Contains also the five scrolls. Printed by Shmuel Avraham Shapira. Slavita, 1827.
First Section: Sefer Bereshit. No title page. The book begins with the leaf of approbations. The first two pages are restored, with omission. 3-222 leaves. The first two pages, including the title page, are missing. The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book notes that the volume of Bereshit of this edition has not been seen.
Second Section: Sefer Shemot. The first nine leaves are missing. No title page. 9-222 leaves.
Third Section: Sefer Vayikra. A complete copy with the title page. 1-150 leaves.
Fourth Section: Sefer Bamidbar. A complete copy with the title page. 1-175 leaves. The title page is flawed. [According to the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book, there are two versions of the edition of this book. The one before us: on the reverse side of the title page, the last line of the Rashi Commentary begins with the word "Kol"].
Fifth Section: Sefer Devarim. A complete copy with the title page. 1-176 leaves.
Condition: Varying. Good.
