CLASSICS. MASECHES KRISUS. First Edition. Venice 1522. Magnificent Copy!
Maseches Krisus, printed by the famed Daniel Bomberg, with the Rashi and Tosfos commentaries.
Individual volume of the first complete edition of the Talmud, and the first edition of this tractate in particular. This edition determined the layout of the page for nearly every subsequent edition of the Talmud. Additionally, this particular edition of the Talmud is virtually free of the encroachments of the censor. For generations, original copies of the Bomberg Talmud are greatly prized by collectors.
They are particularly rare as they had to survive the “burning of the Talmud” in Venice in 1553 and 1568.
Stefansky Hebrew Classics 41. Vinograd Venice 58. Daniel Bomberg press. 28 pages. 36.5 cm. Overall very fine condition. Slight worming, some tape restorations, mainly on the margins, at times affecting some text. Staining. Modern half leather binding.
Opening bid $3000
