Sefer HaShorashim by the Radak. Venice 1547.
By Rabbeinu David Kimchi, the Radak (one of the Rishonim). An important and foundational work on Hebrew grammar, organized alphabetically. Originally published as part 2 of his book “Michlol”. Printed in Venice by Lord Marco Antonio Justinian. The title page lists the year of printing as 5207 but the last page, which has a beautiful poem entitled “Alzu bechol Levav”, hints that the printing was completed in 5208 (still 1547 in the Gregorian). Title page with a pretty wood-block engraving, and the beginning of each section has a framed bit made from a pretty engraving. The page numbering is unusual, each page has 2 numbered columns. [2] pages, 5-548 pages, [1] page. Pretty copy with new handsome leather binding, lone bits of tape, stains, handsome copy of this important, antique work. A number of smudged stamps: “From the library of Yeshay’ Bennett, Budapest”. A number of handwritten notes and glosses.
