Ta’amim on maamarim of chazal from the Shas, by Rabbi Menachem Man Una, a dayan in Lisa and Worms, son of Rabbi Feivush Una, Av Beit Din of West, Poland.
There is a typographic variation on the title page—the author’s name does not appear, only his description—which does not appear in most copies.


Brought to the publisher by the author’s sons, Rabbi Shalom of Worms, and Rabbi Feivush of Poznan. First (and probably only) edition [later ‘editions’ were just facsimiles of this edition]. Offenbach 1723. [1], 3-47 leaves. Catalogued in the National Library’s Rare Books section. Approbation from the gaon Rabbi Yosef Risher of Prague, when he served in Metz; the Shvus Yaakov; and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Ashkenazi of Worms.

The title page has an engraving of Noah’s Ark, angels and more, and there are engravings on the back of the title page and first leaf. New binding; title page and a number of leaves have been professionally repaired, stains, worming holes on the title page, overall good condition.
