Talmud Yerushalmi. Krakaw, (1609). Sections 1-4 in one volume.
Second edition of the Talmud Yerushalmi, which was printed based upon the Venetian edition (1523-1524). In this edition a brief interpretation was added in the margins of the pages by Rabbi David Darshan (see as follows).
Throughout the book hundreds of glosses and comments, corrections of versions, references, explanations, interpretations and comparisons to words in Greek and Roman, in crowded handwriting.
Upon the last page of the book a listing in a different style of writing: “Belongs to the great Rabbi, the famous, learned and knowledgeable luminary… our leader and rabbi, Rabbi David, author of the interpretation on the Talumd Yerushalmi, I, the youngest of his disciples, am writing, the holy Ze'ev Wolf son of… Rabbi Elya' from Halish[oy]”.
It is possible that the glosses are from the same “Rabbi David… author of the interpretation on Talmud Yerushalmi”. Three rabbis by this name are known to have written interpretations on the Yerushalmi. The first is Rabbi David son of Rabbi Menasheh Darshan mentioned above, who resided in Krakow while this edition was printed (see Ozar Ha’Rabbanim 4754) and his interpretation was the first which was printed in the Yerushalmi editions. [However, according to the style of the handwriting of the glosses, they were written during the 18th-19th century].
The second is the Ga’on Rabbi David Frenkel Av Beit Din of Berlin (1703-1762, Ozar Ha’Rabbanim 4986) author of “Korban Ha’Eda” and “Shiyarei Korban” on the Yerushalmi. The third is the Ga’on Rabbi David Luria (1798-1856, Ozar Ha’Rabbanim 4890) who also composed an interpretation on the Yerushalmi. It is unknown whether the glosses are ascribed to one of the abovementioned rabbis or perhaps to another rabbi by the name of Rabbi David who is unknown to us and composed an interpretation on the Yerushalmi.
