Melechet Machshevet al HaTorah by the gaon, the philosopher Rabbi Moshe Chefetz [1664-1712], one of the leading sages of Italy. First edition. Venice, 1710.
The book was printed in Venice and deals with scholarly and philosophical commentaries on the Torah. On the title page: "Authored by a wise man, the rabbi and gaon, the G-dly philosopher Rabbeinu Moshe Chefetz ztz"l, and printed in Venice, in the year עת לעשות ליי, when he was 100 years old."
