Midrash Raba on the Torah and Five Megillot with the commentary Matanot Kehuna, Yedei Moshe, Yafeh To’ar, Mishnat Rabbi Eliezer, Zera Avraham, and Yafeh Anaf. Printed by Shlomo Yarish Rapaport, printer of the first edition of the Noam Elimelech (in 1788). Thick, wonderful volume with five title pages, each one preceding a book of the Torah. 115, 42, 14, 38, 32, 62, 10, 42, 28 leaves. Title leaf, second leaf, and last two leaves are defective with missing text and taping with cellotape. The rest of the book is in good condition. Original binding is detached and is missing the spine—fair to good condition.
