Midrash Rabot on the Torah and Megillot. This copy is attributed to a student of the Ramchal.
Frankfurt (Oder) [1705]. Printer Michel Gotschalk.
[2] 302, 130 pages. Size: 30 cm. Excellent condition.
Otzar Hasefer Database, #56662.

On the title page of the book is the signature of R' Yisrael Binyamin Bassan– from the city of Reggio. R’ Israel, son of Rabbi Isaiah Bassan, was born in 5460 [1700].
He wrote a commentary on his father's book “Todat Shlamim”.
A disciple of the holy Ramchal. The Ramchal zt”l composed a special song in honor of R' Yisrael Binyamin on his wedding day.
Died in 5550 [1790].

One page of the book was completed in the special script of scribes, and one has to wonder, perhaps it is in Rabbi Bassan’s handwriting.
