Romemot El, the Book of Tehillim with a commentary by R. Moshe Alshich. Venice: Zuan (Giovanni) di Gara, [1605]. First complete edition of work.

The book was proofread by the author's son, R. Chaim Alshich. On leaf 2 appears his introduction to the book, in which he laments that his manuscript of the book (which he says was a draft unedited by his father) was stolen and printed, causing him much distress. He appears to be referring to Tapuchei Zahav, printed in Kuruçeşme, 1597, in which the Alshich's commentary was printed, only on the first book of Tehillim and without proofreading.

Signatures on title page (one deleted): "Daniel Shmuel"; additional inscription, cut off: "This book… Yesh[?] Ninio".

Ownership inscription on last leaf: "This book belongs to me, Moshe Franko".

310 leaves. 19.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains, including many dampstains. Light worming to several leaves. Small marginal tears to title page and several other leaves. Final gatherings detached. Original parchment binding. Stains and light damage to binding.
