Shem HaGedolim, history of Jewish sages and the books they authored, Part 2, by Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai - the Chida. [Livorno, 1786].
Approximately 60 glosses in Oriental handwriting [by several writers] from the time of printing: corrections, replacements and additions. The identity of the writer is ambiguous, but the content indicates that possibly the author himself added these glosses to his own work [although apparently they are not in his own handwriting. Perhaps, they were written by a copier of the author's glosses?]. Some of the additions appear in Omissions [and were printed in later editions], at times with language variations, but a considerable number of the glosses have not yet been printed.
Incomplete copy: only leaves 29-51, 61-104 (originally: 104 leaves). Approximately 19.5 cm. Good-fair condition, wear and stains. Worming to text. New binding.
