Lot 52:
In five volumes, with three translations and Rashi’s commentary, Toldot Aharon, and and Ba’al HaTurim, Mesorah Ketana, and Minhat Shay [Even Ezra, commentary on the Even Ezra by Rav Shlomo Netter, Rashbam, Ramban, commentary on Targum Yonatan v’Yerushalmi, Sforno] printed by Rav Shlomo (Zalman) Netter of Jerusalem. At the beginning of the book of Genesis is an introduction by Shlomo Netter, noting the achievements of this printing. He especially underlines the strict proofreading that was done, and he also registers qualifications: “if after all that you find a mistake, I will also say, Torah was not given to the serving angels, even the accurate chumashim have undergone mistakes. IF the mistakes are small in number, then it is considered an accurate chumash.” Although in Numbers, page 67, column 2, a mistake occurs and three words have been removed from 21:34 “kol emo v’et”. At the end of Deuteronomy he printed a new page on which he fixes things, but readers ripped it out and taped it in the place of the erroneous page. Before us is a copy of Numbers with the mistake remaining, Deuteronomy is missing the cover, the covers are reinforced with tape throughout, some of the volumes are a little defective, stains and wear, generally good condition.
