Sefer Toldos Aharon, Amsterdam 1652. First Edition with Toldos Yaakov, Authored by R. Yaakov Sasportas

Sefer Toldos Aharon, the classic compendium on the Torah, Amsterdam 1652. This is the first edition to include Toldos Yaakov, which was authored by the famed R. Yaakov Sasportas of Amsterdam. In this work, he compiled all the Pesukim in the Torah as they are found in Talmud Yerushalmi, unlike Toldos Aharon which contains only the Pesukim found in Talmud Babli. 

With a lengthy, riveting introduction written by R. Yaakov Sasportas himself, which details the many hardships he was facing

With a separate title page for Toldos Yaakov, dated 1657. A special mention of thanks is dedicated to Menasseh ben Yisroel, who arranged for the printing of this work. 

In overall very good condition, printed on high-quality white paper. A minor repair is seen on upper corner of title page, with no loss to text. Bound in a new binding. 


Page size: Approx 17.5cm. 
[158]; [32] pp.
