Sefer HaChinuch—second edition, rare, Venice 1601.
Sefer HaChinuch, a numbering and explanation of the 613 mitzvot, organized according to parshah, attributed to Rabbi Aharon ben Yosef HaLevi of Barcelona, one of the Rishonim and who is known as the Ra’ah. Second edition, a very early edition of this foundational work utilized across the Jewish people, printed regularly over the generations in an innumerable number of editions. 228 leaves. Thought the numeric verse on the title page suggests the year 1600 the colophon notes explicitly that it was published in 1601. Introduction by Rabbi Aryeh of Modena. At the beginning are the indices.
New binding, yellow page cuttings, repaired title page (see picture). The second leaf has been repaired at its edges, and there are four additional pages with professional restoration. Lone moth tunnel through a number of pages, stains, overall good condition especially for a book of this age.
