Sefer Kol Bo, laws and customs. Rimini (Italy): Gershom Soncino, [ca. 1520]. Second edition. [This edition was evidently printed from a manuscript and did not rely on the first edition printed in Italy in ca. 1490].
Censorship erasures and corrections. Signed by censors on the last leaf (signatures from 1591, 1595 and 1629). Several handwritten glosses in ancient Italian Hebrew script.
[164] leaves. 30 cm. Good condition. High-quality paper; stains. Worming on several pages. Repaired tears to several margins, without damage to text. New binding.
Regarding the printing date see: A. M. Haberman, Studies in the History of Hebrew Printers and Books, Jerusalem, 1978, Chapter "The Soncino Sons Printers", p. 69. (In his opinion, this volume was printed in 1525-1526, see ibid. p. 73 no. 79.)
