Sefer Tehillim with the Commentary of Rabbi David Kimchi (Radak) – The Complete and Unabridged Long Commentary of the Radak, Including Entire Sections Omitted in Most Existing Editions – Eisena, 1542 – Large Format with Wide Margins – With Hundreds of Lengthy Marginal Notes in Latin The final three pages were not bound in all copies of the edition before us. In most editions of Tehillim printed in ”Mikraos Gedolos” format that include the commentary of the Radak, entire sections of his commentary were omitted (likely due to their length). Additionally, in most editions, the content printed in the final three pages - titled “These are the responses the Radak gave to the Christians on certain Psalms” - was entirely omitted. These three final pages were also not included in all copies of this edition. In the copy presented here, the commentary of the Radak appears in its entirety, without omissions, including the ”responses to the Christians” printed at the end. In most leaves, there are long marginal notes and interlinear annotations, the majority in Latin and a minority in Hebrew (the Hebrew notes are typically quotations of Pesukim and Midrashim). 128, [2] leaves. 28 cm. Good condition. Stains, some marginal blemishes. New leather binding.
