Netzach Yisrael – First Edition, Printed in the Lifetime of the Author, the Maharal of Prague – Prague, 1599 – Hundreds of Handwritten Glosses (Unpublished)
Netzach Yisrael, regarding Mashiach and the Redemption of the Jewish people, by R. Yehuda Loew – the Maharal of Prague. Prague: Moshe son of R. Y. Bezalel Katz, [1599]. First edition.
The book contains many hundreds of particularly lengthy glosses, by an unidentified writer, in cursive Ashkenazic script (Germany?, ca. 19th century). The glosses occasionally fill entire pages, and form a complete composition, which was presumably never published. The glosses contain the writer's original commentaries and novellae on the words of the author, and occasionally Judeo-German translations. The author was evidently an outstanding Torah scholar well versed in Kabbalah and philosophy. Many markings and underlines in the body of text.
63 [i.e. 64] leaves. Misfoliation. 29 cm. Paper partially browned. Good-fair condition. Stains, including dampstains. Leaves trimmed close to text in several places. Stamps. New leather binding.
PLEASE NOTE: Item descriptions were shortened in translation. For further information, please refer to Hebrew text.
