Torat Moshe, on the book of Bereshit, interpretation of the Torah following the Derash approach, by R. Moshe Alshech. Venice: Daniel Zanetti, [1600].
Of the five books comprising R. Moshe Alshech's comprehensive composition on the Torah, only one, the part on the Book of Bereshit, was published in his lifetime, in 1593. Shortly following the author's passing (13th Nisan 1600), the first part – offered here – was reprinted alone. The following year, all five parts on all the books of the Torah were printed by Zuan di Gara.
123 leaves. 28.5 cm. Good condition. Stains and wear. Tears and worming to title page. Margins of title page trimmed, affecting border. New binding.
