A complete set (in three volumes) of the famed Amsterdam Tikkun Soferim. This edition boasts unique illustrated title pages by the legendary Bernard Picart (1673-1733), a French engraver from Amsterdam who graced religious works with his illustrations.
This is the only Hebrew book to feature title pages illustrated by Picart. His name - B. Picart - is seen at the bottom corner of the page. With a separate title page for Haftorahs, also illustrated by him.
Published by Shmuel Rodriguez-Mendes, a respected community member of the Sephardic-Pourteguese community in Amsterdam.
This copy includes the rare fold-out Portuguese calendars which are lacking in many copies.
A complete set in 3 volumes.
Volume I: Bereishis-Shemos
Volume II: Vayikra-Bamidbar-Devarim
Volume III: Haftorahs for the whole year, with an additional title page. Also included in this volume is the approbation of R. Yaakov Eillon, Chief Rabbi of Amsterdam’s Sephardic community.
