Meor Einayim, by R. Azaria de Rossi (min HaAdumim). Mantua, 1574.
Divided into three parts: Kol Elokim (account of the earthquake in Ferrara in 1570), Hadrat Zekenim (about the Septuagint) and Imrei Bina (various essays and homiletics).
R. Azaria de Rossi (1512-1578, Otzar HaRabbanim 16731) was an Italian scholar well versed both in Torah and science. His book Meor Einayim was banned by Italian rabbis immediately after publication, the claim being it contains teachings opposing tradition and is disrespectful to the words of Chazal. The Maharal sharply criticizes the book and his book Be'er HaGolah was reputedly written in response to Meor Einayim (there are however authors who quote the book, endorsed by the Sdei Chemed).
During the controversy over the book, a condition was made with R. Azaria that six leaves (52-53, 81-82, 87-88) containing unfit ideas must be replaced, and that he print and enclose with his book the objection of R. Moshe Provençal to his words.
The present copy contains the replacement leaves, as well as two leaves of "objection" by R. Moshe Provençal, followed by four leaves with the author's "response to the objection".
Ownership inscriptions in Italian script at the top of the title page.
194 leaves. 21.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Several tears. Worming, slightly affecting title page border, repaired in part. Some censorship deletions. Inscriptions. Censorship inscription at foot of title page. Old parchment binding.

Sefer Biurim, super-commentary to Rashi's commentary on the Torah, by R. Natan Shapiro of Horodna. Venice: Matteo Zanetti and Comino Presegno, [1593].

Contains several illustrations: map of Eretz Israel, Jacob's ladder, the Temple menorah, and more.

Although this work is attributed on the title page (and throughout the book) to R. Natan Shapiro, it is in fact a forgery. R. Natan's original super-commentary to Rashi's commentary on the Torah was published at the same time, by his son R. Yitzchak, under the title Imrei Shefer (Krakow and Lublin, 1590-1597). In his foreword to Imrei Shefer, R. Yitzchak, declared Sefer Biurim to be a forgery. The book was then banned by the rabbis of Poland.

Many early ownership inscriptions on the title page (on both sides) from Weibhausen and Teising, Bavaria, Germany, including an acrostic poem.
180 leaves. 19 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains, including dampstains. Marginal open tears to title page, affecting title border, and tears to several other leaves (tape repair to one leaf).

Chesed L'Avraham, by the kabbalist R. Avraham Azulai. Slavita, [1794]. One of the first books printed by R. Moshe Shapira Rabbi of Slavita (son of R. Pinchas of Korets).
This kabbalistic book was held in high esteem by great Chassidic leaders and is often cited in early Chassidic literature.
The author, R. Avraham Azulai (1570-1644) was born in Fez, Morocco. He immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Hebron. When an epidemic broke out in 1619, he fled to Gaza, where he composed this book within five weeks. Most of the book is a collection and arrangement of the teachings of R. Moshe Cordovero, which at that time were still in manuscript form. A small part is from the writings of the Arizal.
Signatures on the title page and second leaf.
