"Vayikra" with the Chida's Commentary – Safed, 1833
"Vayikra", Volume Three of the Five Books of Moses, with haftarot, Rashi commentary, Ba'al HaTurim and Siftei Chachamim, and with the Chida's commentary"Nachal Kedumim" on the Torah and" Nachal Sorek" on haftarot. Safed, [1833]. Yisrael Beck printing.
Some of the title page words are printed in red ink. This copy is missing "Shir HaShirim".
This is the second or third book printed by Rabbi Yisrael Beck in Sefad. The other volumes of this chumash are unknown, and possibly only the volume of "Vayikra" was printed. Simultaneously, Beck printed another edition without the Chida's commentary. [About this edition see: M. Benayahu, Beit Defuso shel R' Yisrael Beck B'Tzfat, Areshet, Vol. 4, pages 277-278; Y. Yudlov, Ginzei Yisrael, Jerusalem 1985, page 30, no. 58, on another edition printed in Sefad at the same time].
Signature on title page: "Ezra Davich HaCohen…" [The Davich family, descending from the lineage of cohanim in Allepo brought forth great Torah scholars, rabbis and teachers].
125 leaves (instead of 137 leaves, without Shir HaShirim). 20 cm. Good condition. Stains, moth damage. Ink writing around book name and place of printing. New binding.
