Lot 174:
Sefer Yalkut Shimoni by Rabbi Shimon Ashkenazi, “the darshan of Frankfurt”, with the commentary Birkat Avraham by Rabbeinu Avraham Gedalya. The first book printed in Livorno.
In the margins are dozens of notes in Yemenite script containing mostly quotes from the Zohar, Midrash Ne’elam, Sefer Chemdat Yamim, and more. Very long, some take up most of the page.
The margins also have glued bits of geniza pages for reinforcement of the pages. Partially missing: begins on leaf 11 and ends on 272. Tears repaired unprofessionally, worming holes, stains, fair condition.
