Leiden Tana"ch: Mishlei Shlomo [Leiden, 1608]. Pocket Edition. Parchment Binding
Sefer Mishlei Shlomo with sefarim from Ketuvim: Mishlei, Iyov, and the five Meggilot: Shir HaShirim, Ruth, Eichah, Kohelet and Esther. Ex Officina Plantiniana Raphelengii. Leiden, 1608.
Bilingual title page: Proverbia Salomonis, Iob, Canticum Canticorum, Ruth, Lamentationes, Jeremiae, Ecclesiastes, Esther. Despite Sefer Yirmiyahu being mentioned here in Latin on the title page, it was not printed in this edition.
Early and rare edition of Ketuvim - Chamesh Meggilot. [There are those who view this as the first known complete edition of Tana"ch in the world]. This particular edition is especially beautiful. It features vowelization and cantillation, and the first word of each sefer is surrounded by a decorative woodcut. Each fifth verse is marked with a letter. Copperplate etching of the printer's device on the title page.
[308] pp. 115 mm. Relatively wide margins.
Fine condition. Isolated worming perforations. Antique parchment binding with blemishes on the spine and on the flyleaf.
