Daniel - Chronicles, Unicum title page
Bible, 10th part, Hagiography - Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Chronicles. [Cracow, 1821]. No printer.
With commentaries: Rashi, Metzudat David and Zion, Toldot Aharon, and Ashkenazi commentary titled Magishei Minha. "Thorough proof of the Prague printing". (Chronicles does not have the Ashkenazi commentary).
Actually this edition has no connection whatsoever to any Prague edition! Book was printed by a Polish printer. According to pagination and other signs this book suits the bibliographic registration of the tenth volume of the 1821 Cracow edition which was printed in two different versions - one with registration of place and time of printing and printer's name, and the other with forged title pages (perhaps for avoiding censorship or taxes) bearing various dates and places of printing. Both versions are very rare and were registered from copies of Hebrew University and Bar Ilan University. This specific title page is unregistered and therefore an Unicum.
[1], 126, 121 leaves. 18 cm. Very good condition. Single hole to last page. Antique worn cardboard binding.
On this version of "Magishei Minha" see Mif'al Ha-Bibliografia item 0305047, and Yuda A. Yofe's article Di Amsterdamer Tanakh Iberzetsung "Magishei Minha" fun 1755, Yivo Blatter, 1939, XIV, pp 240, no. 8, which mistakenly attributed this edition to Zholkiev or Lemberg 1800.
