Sefer Moreh Nevuchim L’HaRamba”m with commentaries. Sabbioneta, Puah Press by Cornelio Eidelkind, 1553. Ancient rabbinic signatures at the top of the title page in several different scripts.
Early edition of Moreh Nevuchim by the Ramba”m, with the Shem Tov and Efudi commentaries, and a commentary by ibn Kreshkash printed here for the first time. Magnificent title page.
With the two leaves at the end about parallel lines not found in most copies.
Ten handwritten glosses appear along the leaves of the sefer in Italian script, some lengthy. The writer has not been identified, however he was obviously a first-rate Torah scholar deliberating the Ramba”m’s words; other glosses from a different writer.
