Midrash Tanchuma – Mantua, 1563
Tanchuma, called Yelamdenu, a Midrash on the Five Books of the Torah. Mantua: Giacomo Ruffinelli, 1563.
This edition was arranged by R. Ezra of Fano, with the addition of new sections of the Midrash, which were not printed in the Constantinople and Venice editions preceding it. All subsequent editions were based on this edition (see: Shlomo Buber, Mevo HaTanchuma, Chapter 14, pp. 163-180).
106 leaves. 29.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains and wear. Tears (repaired) to the title page (top left corner repaired with pieces of paper) affecting the border and the text on the verso. Printer's note at the bottom of p. 71b slightly trimmed. A few inscriptions and marks. Minor damage. Old binding with early leather spine. Wear and damage to the binding.
Provenance: Collection of Dr. Israel Mehlman.
