Chamisha Chumshei Torah – Sabbioneta, 1556-1558 – Miniature Volume – Scholarly Glosses
Chamisha Chumshei Torah with the Haftarot, in one miniature volume: 12.5 cm.
On several of the leaves, important glosses, some of them long, in early Italian script.
At the same time this Pentateuch was printed, an edition without the Onkelos translation was also printed.
On the (vowelized) Colophon on the last page of the volume, the year of printing is noted: 1558.
On the reverse side of the leaf, the logo of the printer and on the next page, praise for "this (small) Chumash with the (Onkelos) translation".
The Chumash and the translation were printed page-by-page except for the blessing of Ya'akov in Parashat Va'Uechi and the blessing of Moses in Parashat Ve'Zot Ha'Beracha. The Hebrew text and the translation of these Parashot were ordered column-by-column on one page. every fifth verse is marked by a letter.
On leaf [5, a] a poem praising the Chumash and its translation was printed.
56 leaves: Haftarot.
[8] pp. 352, 56 leaves.
Condition: Good. New, impressive leather binding. The sides of ten leaves at the beginning of the volume and several leaves elsewhere have been restored, with no omission of the text of the verses. Some of the translation, referring to the gentiles, was erased by the censor.
