Chamisha Chumshei Torah – Slavita, 1826-1836
Five Chumashim of the Torah including the interpretation of Rashi and the translation of Onkelos, edition of “Ve’Hagitah”. Slavita, [1826 or 1836], printing press of Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Shapira, son of the Rabbi from Slavita.
Five volumes in good condition. The title page includes the name of the Chumash and the place of publication in red ink.
Sephardic handwritten ownership inscriptions upon the title pages of the volumes, some of which include ornamented stamps. One of the volumes includes a bookmark. Sections of the Chumash were printed upon pale blue paper.
Bereshit: 184 leaves. Faulty pagination of first pages; Shmot: 169; 24 leaves; Vayikra: 124 leaves; Bamidbar: 150 leaves; Dvarim: 148 leaves.
Good-fair condition. Stains on margins of the pages as well as minor tears (in the volume of Bamidbar: coarse restoration of tears on first pages). Identical original ancient leather bindings with the addition of leather spines (in an Eastern-Babylonian style), damaged bindings.
The detail of the year is unclear, since in each volume different letters of the verse “Ve’Hagitah” are emphasized, however it is apparent from the form of the print that all the volumes were printed together in the same publication
