Five books of the Torah, with Targum Onkelos, the Rashi, Ramban and Ibn Ezra commentaries; Haftarot for Shabbat and Festivals, with the Radak commentary; and Five Megillot, with the Ibn Ezra commentary. [Constantinople: Samuel son of David Nachmias, 1522].
Two large volumes. The text of the Torah occupies the center of the page, with Targum Onkelos at its side; the Rashi and "Nachmani" (Ramban) commentaries are on both sides of the page and the Ibn Ezra commentary appears at the bottom of the page. The Rashi and Radak commentaries are printed in the Haftarot section and the Rashi and Ibn Ezra commentaries are printed in the Megillot section.
These five books of Torah were printed concurrently in two editions, one with the Haftarot according to the Sephardi rite, and the second, with the Romaniote rite Haftarot. In this set, the first volume contains the Haftarot for Bereshit through Vayikra according to the Romaniote rite, and the second volume, the Haftarot of Bamidbar, Devarim and Festivals according to the Sephardi rite. (Yaari, HaDefus HaIvri B'Kushta, no. 95, writes about copies with Karaite rite Haftarot, but in fact it is the Romaniote rite, which was accepted amongst the Karaites).
The last leaf of the second volume (at the end of the Five Megillot) contains a colophon, followed by a poem praising the book and the printers R. Abraham Paredes, R. Samuel son of David Nachmias, R. Moses Halimi and R. Joseph Al-Naqawa, and marking its completion on Rosh Chodesh Sivan 1522 in Constantinople.
Two volumes. Vol. I – Bereshit through Vayikra, with Haftarot. Vol. II – Bamidbar and Devarim with Haftarot and Five Megillot. In total [445] leaves. Lacking title page (replaced with photocopy) and four blank leaves. The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book records [68] leaves of Sephardi rite Haftarot. These volumes contain in all [66] leaves of Haftarot. The difference is due to the combination of one volume with Sephardi rite Haftarot together with one volume with Romaniote rite Haftarot.
36.5 cm. Condition varies, most leaves in good condition, damage and open tears to several leaves. Thick, high-quality paper. Stains. Signs of past dampness and mold stains to some leaves. Most leaves complete. Damage and large tears to five leaves at the beginning of the first volume, affecting text in some places, repaired. Large open tears affecting text to approx. five leaves in the second volume (in the Haftarot for High Holidays), repaired. New bindings.

Neviim Acharonim, with the commentary of R. Yitzchak Abarbanel. [Pesaro: Gershom Soncino], 1520. First edition. Two volumes.
Title within a woodcut ornamented border, containing the details of the printing and printer: "Printed in Italy by… a Jew from Soncino renowned amongst the Jews, [1520]…". In some copies, the verso of the title page is blank, however, in this copy it bears a long poem comprised of 52 stanzas written by the author's son, entitled: "Words of Yehuda son of the commentator, to glorify my father's commentary to the books of the Neviim", and opening with an acrostic of "Yehuda son of Isaac Abarbanel".
The book of Yeshaya contains (trimmed) marginal notes in Italian script, most particularly lengthy, by an unidentified writer. Several lengthy marginal notes in Sephardic script (Turkey and the Balkans) appear on one page of Hoshe'a and one page of Michah.
This edition was printed around 12 years after the passing of the author, R. Yitzchak Abarbanel. At the end of his commentary to the book of Yeshaya, the author writes that "the beginning of this commentary was written in the island of Corfu on Rosh Chodesh Av 1495, and since this work was postponed in deference to other compositions, I completed it in Monopoli in the region of Apulia… on Rosh Chodesh Elul [1498]…".
The famous Jewish printer Gershom Soncino, a leading Hebrew printer in Italy, wandered with his family and printing equipment through various Italian towns. In each place he settled, he printed Hebrew books. In Pesaro, he printed some Talmudic tractates and other books. He also printed the first part of the Abarbanel commentary, to Neviim Rishonim, in Pesaro, in 1511.
Incomplete copy. [392] leaves. (Originally: [398] leaves; lacking the first [5] leaves (including the title page) and leaf [398] – a blank leaf). This copy is divided into two volumes, which are comprised of different copies. Vol. I: First [5-195] leaves, until the end of the book of Yirmiya. 29.5 cm. Condition varies, good-fair, most of the leaves are in good condition. Stains. Signs of past dampness in several places. First three leaves detached.

The leaves of this volume were professionally restored. Open tears (repaired) to the last (approx. 10) leaves, affecting text. New leather bindings. The words "Pesaro [1512]" were erroneously embossed on the spine of Vol. II, however, this volume is actually the continuation of the first volume and was printed in Pesaro in 1520.
