The Amsterdam Tanach - Biblia Hebraica, Amsterdam 1667.
An attractive copy of the one of the most popular editions of the Tanach. Printed and edited by famed Dutch printer Joseph Athias who fled from Spain. Because of the exacting standards used when preparing this edition for print, it quickly became well-known for its accuracy. As such, many subsequent editions of the Tanach printed throughout the 18th and 19th centuries were based on this edition.
Printed with the approbations of the Torah leaders of the Sephardic community. They praise the publisher for the immense effort he put into this edition so it shall be as accurate as possible with no printing errors.
Four parts bound in one volume, with a separate decorative title page for each part. Contains Torah, Nevi’im Rishonim, Nevi’im Acharonim, and Kesuvim. Bound in a contemporary leather binding, gilt spine; rubbed and worn. Printed on high-quality white paper. A small abrasion seen on leaf [2] of the Latin preface, affecting one letter of text.
[19], 178, [1], 2-155, [1], 157-316, [1], 318-508, [2] pp.
