Auction 55
Lot 052:
Masechet Horayot “with Rashi’s commentary and the Tosafot and the piskei tosafot and everything which accompanies these in the first printings, page for page”, with chiddushei Maharsha at the end and a tosefet found handwritten by Rabbi Eliyahu Ettingen, author of the Brit HaLevi.
A special, separate printing—not part of a set. The title page (as in Masechet Taanit and Chagiga, printed earlier in 1723) 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 1727. 77 pages. By Rabbi Uri Feivush of Hammelburg. 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.
