Sefer Lashon Limudim, Constantinople 1542.
A complete copy of Sefer Lashon Limudim, written by R. David Ibn Yachya (1465-1543), a 15th century Rabbi from Lisbon. First printed in 1506, this revised Constantinople edition was printed in 1542 free from previous printing errors.
R. David Ibn Yachya was forced to flee from Spain to Italy in 1496 and settled in Naples. While there, he enjoyed a close relationship with MaHaram Padua. MaHaram Padua held him in high esteem and eulogized him greatly upon his death in 1543.
This edition is one of the last books printed by the famed Soncino family press.
A comprehensive and important work.
In very good condition.
[45] pp.
Vinograd, Constantinople 176.
