Babylonian Talmud, Tractates Me'ilah, Kinim, Middot and Tamid. Venice: Daniel Bomberg, 1523. First edition.
Volume from the first edition of the Talmud by Daniel Bomberg in Venice. This edition was the first to publish the Talmud in its entirety, and therefore became the template for all further editions of the Talmud, including pagination and the characteristic page layout customary until today. This copy does not include the smaller tractates of Smachot, Kallah and Sofrim that were originally included in this volume.
37 leaves. Without the small tractates. 38 cm. Good condition. The pages have been professionally restored (washed and pressed). Several pages have professionally repaired wormholes, with damage to text. Ancient vellum binding, repaired.
