Auction 70
Lot 379:
Chumash Muda Lebinah, three sections, The books of Shemot, Vayikra, Bamidbar with the Havanat Hamikra commentary containing mainly an elucidation on Rashi.
First edition – the press of the Gaon and linguist Rabbi Wolf ben Rabbi Shimshon Heidenheim, the Raveh in Rodelheim. This Chumash is the last of four types of Chumashim printed by the Raveh in that year: Ein Hasofer, Meor Enayim and Torat Moshe. The biblical text is identical in all Chumashim yet their layout is different since each contains a different commentary.
Sefer Shemot: 1818. [1], 131, 28, 78 leaves.
Sefer Vayikra: 1819. [1], 79, 24, 45-80 leaves.
Sefer Bamidbar: 1820. [1], 102, 16 leaves. Larger printing on hard paper and with fine wide margins.
In each Chumash, a separate title page for the Haftarot. At the end of the volumes of Shemot and Vayikra, Sabbath prayers. From leaf 41, Piyyutim for Brit Milah and special Sabbaths – two different versions were published, a German one and a Polish one. Most copies contain the German version. In these Chumashim, Shemot contains the Polish custom and Vayikra, the German one. The volume of Vayikra contains only the Yotzrot for Sabbath without the prayers [and the first 4 leaves of the Yotzrot are missing from this copy]. It should be noted that in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book, the pagination of the Haftarot does not appear and in the National Library, the prayers and the Piyyutim are also missing.
Apparently original bindings. One leather spine is blemished and another is missing. Varied minor blemishes. Good overall condition.
On the title page of Vayikra, a stamp of the Chevra Kaddisha of Paris.
