Buyer's premium:

Masechet megillah “with Rashi’s commentary and the Tosafot and the Rosh and Torah Or and Ein Mishpat”, with chiddushei Maharsha at the end.

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, 1730. 45 leaves (75, 1 pages). 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.

Wear at the edges of leaves, the page cuttings caused damage to the text on two leaves, stains, overall good condition.
