Impressive Copy: Yeffeh Toar on Bereishit Rabbah. Prague, 1689. Signatures
Sefer Yeffeh Toar - commentary on Bereishit Rabbah by Rabbi Shmuel Jaffe Ashkenazi. Prague, 1689. Large and impressive copy. Signatures on both title pages.
From the approbation: "This sefer, just completed, began to be printed already in 1689 ... but due to the many fiery tribulations (that is, the fire that broke out in Prague), the work could not be completed. And today ... the sections that were not yet printed have been completed."
The front flyleaf and the following two title pages bear antique notations and signatures from various places and times. The content of the notations have not been thoroughly examined.
[2], 235, [2] leaf (mispaginated). 30 cm.
Fine condition. Aging stains. Isolated worming perforations. Reinforcement to the margins of the title page. Magnificent binding.
