Bible in Ashkenazi Language – Amsterdam, 1679 – Rare Edition – Engraved Title Page (Slightly Damaged)
The first title page is engraved. The second title page is detailed, in quite poetic language.
Chamisha Chumshei Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim, in Ashkenazi language. The editor is presumably R. Yekutiel Blitz, who is referred to on the title page.
Two ancient signatures appear on the title page, one of R. Mordechai Katz and the second of a woman, matching the popular language of the book which was used at the time especially by women.
At the beginning of the book, leaves in Latin and an approbation written by the representative of the Polish king – written in Hebrew-Teitch – Ashkenazi language.
Additional ancient signatures at the beginning of the book.
Reasonable condition with typical wear.
