Merkevet HaMishnah by Rabbi Don Yitzchak Abarbanel. Sabbioneta 1551. First Edition.
This is the first Hebrew book printed in Sabbioneta [Vinograd, Sabbioneta No.1].
Commentary on the Book of Devarim (Mishnah Torah) by Rabbi Don Yitzchak Abarbanel.
The commentary on the other books of the Torah were only printed decades later in 1579, in Venice.
On the last leaf of the book is printed: “Shir LaMa’alot HaMechaber VeChiburav HaRabbim by Azariah son of Moshe min HaAdumim”.
This is the first Hebrew book printed in Sabbioneta [Vinograd, Sabbioneta No. 1].
On the last page are 2 printers’ marks: Tuvia Foa's Printers’ mark and R’ Yosef son of R’ Yaakov of Padua’s mark. Some copies only feature Foa's mark. (A. Ya’ari, Hebrew Printers’ Marks, Jerusalem, 1944 No. 19.)
Sabbioneta, 1551. First Edition.
145, [1] leaves. 30 cm.
Very good condition. The last four leaves have slight mold stains. Aside from this the copy is most beautiful. Splendid, leather binding.
