Neviim Acharonim and Ketuvim. [Venice: Daniel Bomberg, 1521]. Two volumes.
Two volumes of Neviim Acharonim and Ketuvim, with half-titles (blank leaves with the titles "Neviim Acharonim" and "Ketuvim") in each volume. These two volumes are part of a Tanach edition printed in Venice in 1521. The 1521 edition was printed identically to the first Bomberg edition of Tanach printed in Venice in 1518, apart from Tehillim in the Ketuvim volume printed here in short lines, four columns per leaf. In this edition, the five Megillot were bound after the five books of the Torah and are therefore not included in these volumes.
Neviim Acharonim vol.: 277-398 leaves. Ketuvim vol.: 399-498 leaves. Lacking leaves 499-528, [1] of Divrei HaYamim. The complete Tanach contained 528, [1] leaves. 18.5 cm. Overall good condition. Stains. Tears (repaired) in several places, mostly not affecting text. A few inscriptions. Some marginal text trimmed. New bindings.
Provenance: Collection of Dr. Israel Mehlman.
