Bible. Tenakh bi-Leshon Ashkenaz (Yiddish translation of the whole Bible, by Jekutiel ben Isaac Blitz). Amsterdam, Uri Fayvish ha-Levi, 1676-78, 31 x 19.8 cm. [1] + 4 + [2] + 256 (misnumbered) + 18 leaves. Copper-engraved frontispiece, showing Moses and Aaron. Title of Pentatuech within architectural frame. With approbations in Hebrew, Yiddish and Latin.

Fuks' description of the foliation '77-246 246-252' does not correspond with our copy (where 247 was only misnumbered as 246, but followed by 248 as expected), but there is no text missing.

Slightly rubbed contemporary gold-tooled mottled calf, red edges, re-backed. Fine copy. StCB 1177; Zedner 100; Roest 170-171; Fuks, HTN II, No. 336.
