Auction 55
Lot 051:
Masechet Chagiga “with Rashi’s commentary and the Tosafot and the piskei tosafot and everything which accompanies these in the first printings, page for page”.
A special, separate printing—not part of a set. The title page states: “done in a small format so that every man can carry it in his jacket pocket and read it when he is travelling…”. Amsterdam 1723. 52 leaves. The National Library catalogues this in its rare books section. Every leaf from normal editions appears in this edition as 2 leaves (with larger letters) to make it easier on readers.
Original parchment binding, wear, overall good condition. The back of the bindings, the title page and its reverse have notes of ownership and Ashkenazi signatures. Not checked thoroughly.
