Classic. Sefer Toldos Adam V’Chava - Rabbeinu Yerucham, Constantinople 1516. First Edition.

A complete copy of Sefer Toldos Adam V’Chava - “Rabbeinu Yerucham”, first post-incunabula edition printed at Constantinople in 1516. Interestingly, in order to make this edition affordable, this Sefer was printed in sections; only to be combined later as one book, thus a complete copy - with appendices included - is quite rare. 

Like most copies of this edition, this copy has been professionally restored. In overall good condition. Worming to final 15 leaves, at times affecting text. Lower left corner of pp. 407 supplied in facsimile. First two leaves of appendices lacking, supplied in professional facsimile. Otherwise in good condition. 

A wide-margined copy. Marginal glosses seen on several leaves. 

272, [15], 122 pp. 

Vinograd, Constantinople 83.
