• Bound with "Novum Testamentum" [The New Testament], edited by Johann Leusden. Amsterdam, 1717.
A bible with three title pages (an engraved title page depicting Moses and Aaron and the Holy of Holies and two additional title pages in Hebrew and in Latin). At the beginning of the book is a Latin introduction and a six-stanza Hebrew poem. This edition of the bible, printed in 1701, was used by Rabbi Aryeh Levin to perform the "Goral HaGra", according to a tradition passed down to him by his rabbis, the heads of the Volozhin Yeshiva, and whose source was the Vilna Gaon. Rabbi Levin used the Goral in 1950 to identify the bodies of the Lamed Heh Convoy.
The bible is bound with an additional book – Novum Testamentum [The New Testament], edited by the theologist and Hebraist Johann Leusden. Amsterdam: Ex Officina Wetsteniana, 1717. Greek and Latin. The book contains an engraved title page and two folded maps: a map of Palestine and a map of the Mediterranean basin.
The two books are bound together in an elegant, leather covered, gilt embossed binding. The owner's initials "C. J." and the year 1723 are impressed onto the binding. Gilt edges.
