Complete Set of Mishnayot with Nekudot Hachosef, by Rabbi David Altoras. "Divided into 29 days of study, to study 18 daily chapters each and every month". The press of the physician Rabbi Eliezer Shlomo of Italy, Mantova, 1777-1778. All in a single, thick volume. Fine, ancient leather binding, scuffed. Red edges. Some moth damage. Several small tears. Very good overall condition.

Printed after the Venice 1756-(1761) edition, omitting the explanation of the foreign words. Section I-III: [1777] and section IV-VI: [1778].

Actually, this copy is a variant since all Shisha Sdarim are bound together in a single volume. Therefore, the title pages of each Seder were omitted. In addition, the leaves at the end of each Seder containing varied prayers were also omitted. Only the Hadran remained. We do not know whether these omissions were done during the printing process or later by th ebinder/owner. 

Ownership notation: "שמואל כליפי".
