Koheleth David – Collectio Davidis, The Catalog of the Oppenheim Collection, Hamburg 1826
Collectio Davidis was published in 1826 in Hamburg, Germany, and was the final catalog of a collection that had been inventoried every few decades since it was initiated in the 1670s.
Behind a registry enumerating books and manuscripts in varying sizes, shapes, and paper qualities lie the activities of a collector, David Oppenheim, chief rabbi of Prague from 1703-1736. Over the course of five and a half decades, Oppenheim collected and created books and manuscripts, circulating literary material across Europe and the Mediterranean basin.
Rare. Bound in original paper wrappers.
[16], 742, [1] pp.
