Extremely Rare! Basic Edition: Mikra'ot Gedolot Ktuvim Bomberg Press - Master Edition Venice, 1524-1525

Volume containing most of the Ktuvim with important commentaries: Job with the Ibn Ezra and Ralbag, Daniel with Ibn Ezra and Rabbi Sa'adya Gaon, Ezra and Nechemya with Ibn Ezra and Rashi, Diver Hayamim with a commentary attributed to Rashi, Chamesh Megillot with Rashi and Ibn Ezra. The commentaries on Job and Ezra and Nechemya printed in the name of the Ibn Ezra are actually by Rabbi David Kimchi. 


Basic edition!

This edition of Mikra'ot Gedolot was edited by Yaakov ibn Adoniyahu and proofread by Cornelius Edilkind and to this day is considered the "accepted version" of the Bible. In addition, some of the commentaries were published here for the first time. Daniel Bomberg Press - Venice, 1524-1525. Quality paper and a fine layout. With historiated initials. In the National Library, the book appears of course in the Rare Book Collection. Stefansky Sifrei Yesod 1. 


This copy begins with the Book of Job and the commentators' forewords and ends with Divrei Hayamim. Originally, there were important additions about the Mesorah and its rules and textual variations. The leaves are not paginated and have not been studied leaf-by-leaf. 


Much moth damage. Some trimmed edges close to the text, possibly during the printing process. Minor stains. Poor overall condition. 


At the beginning of Sefer Ezra, an ancient ownership notation: "הון ועושר בביתו וצדקתו עומדת לעד זה הקונה ספרים ומשאילם לאחרי' ויהודא הודה נאום ליווא יהודא בן הרב"ר שמשון יצ"ו..." and an additional notation: "יניחו זה הספר בעד י"ד ... מיצר אצל יתמי הר"ר איסרלנד..." possibly, a member of the Maharal's family as  the ink matches the period. On the following page, a blurred, unidentified signature. 


An additional notation of the Book of Job with the name Hirsch.
