Sefer HaMaggid – Neviim Rishonim, Neviim Acharonim and Ketuvim, with the Rashi commentary, Yiddish translation and Agudat Shmuel. Amsterdam, [1699].
A miniature edition in four volumes. The Yiddish translation is a sequel to Tsene Rene on the Torah and is by the same author (R. Yaakov of Janów). In this edition the translation was edited and the wording is not identical to previous editions.
The composition Agudat Shmuel, by the publisher R. Shmuel Dlugatch, was first printed in this edition (a compilation from various sources and works, mostly not found in other sources, such as "Hagahot R. Ovadia HaNavi", Sod Meisharim, Emek HaShem, and more). This compilation, which was inserted in parentheses into the Rashi commentary, was published in further editions, and drew criticism on the fact it was implanted within the text of the Rashi commentary. Some of these additions were later absorbed in the commentary and assumed to be an integral part of it (see: Ch. Lieberman, Ohel Rachel, 1, pp. 310-329).
Handwritten notes on several leaves.
The beginning of Sefer Tehillim in the Ketuvim volume bears an owner's signature: "Tzvi Hirsh Chayes, Monday, MarCheshvan 22, [1823]" – this appears to be the signature of Maharatz Chayes (1806-1856) in his youth. A leading Torah scholar of his times, he was appointed rabbi of Zhovkva at the age of 23. His notes on the Talmud were printed in many editions from 1840. He composed many books and was a multifaceted personality, well versed in Torah and sciences. He fought for authentic Judaism against Maskilim, and corresponded extensively in responsa with the Chatam Sofer, who held him in great esteem (see: HaDarom, 1958, Issue 5-6, "The Chatam Sofer's Attitude to the Maharatz Chayes").
Four volumes. Vol. I – Neviim Rishonim: [1], 37-279, 290-379, 390-548, 550-555 leaves. Originally: [5], 279, 290-379, 390-559, [1] leaves. Lacking first 36 leaves (including the title page, replaced with photocopy), except for one leaf of the approbations; lacking leaf 549 and last 5 leaves. Vol. II – Neviim Acharonim (Yeshaya-Yechezkel): 379, 390-549 leaves. Vol. III – Ketuvim: 480 leaves. Vol. IV – (Ezra, Nechemia, Trei Asar and Divrei HaYamim): 2-346, [1] leaves. Originally: 346, [2] leaves. Lacking title page and last leaf (replaced with photocopies). Approx. 11 cm. Good-fair condition. Most leaves in good condition. Stains, inkstains. Tears to several leaves. Worming affecting text in several places. Margins trimmed on text border, slightly affecting text. New bindings, except for one early binding.

Babylonian Talmud, two volumes - Tractates Shabbat and Sanhedrin. [Constantinople: R. Yosef grandson of R. Yosef Yavetz, 1583].
This Constantinople edition of the Talmud was published in sections, distributed to subscribers on Shabbat in the synagogue, a common practice at that time in Constantinople (see: Yaari, HaDefus HaIvri B'Kushta, p. 103), as the printer R. Yosef Yavetz writes in his foreword to Tractate Brachot: "Every Shabbat we will issue sections of the Talmud, and distribute them to any buyer… and they will be paid for in installments… eventually he will have a complete Talmud for the sum total of the price of the sections…". Complete copies of this edition are rare.
This is the first edition of the Babylonian Talmud containing the corrections of the Maharshal - R. Shlomo Luria. In 1582, the corrections of the Maharshal (copied from the margins of his Talmud) were printed for the first time, in Krakow, in a separate volume under the name Chochmat Shlomo. In the Talmud edition here, the corrections were printed as an addendum at the end of the volume, and some were inserted in the text of the Talmud itself.
See more about this edition: R. Refael Natan Notte Rabinowitz, Maamar Al Hadpasat HaTalmud, pp. 70-73. The year of printing does not appear on the title pages, but Rabinowitz determines that it was after 1582 - the year Chochmat Shlomo was printed.
The Shabbat volume contains short notes and corrections in Sephardic script.

This Constantinople edition of the Talmud was published in sections, distributed to subscribers on Shabbat in the synagogue, a common practice at that time in Constantinople (see: Yaari, HaDefus HaIvri B'Kushta, p. 103), as the printer R. Yosef Yavetz writes in his foreword to Tractate Brachot: "Every Shabbat we will issue sections of the Talmud, and distribute them to any buyer… and they will be paid for in installments… eventually he will have a complete Talmud for the sum total of the price of the sections…". Complete copies of this edition are rare.
