POLAND - RENAISSANCE Mordechai b. Yehiel Luria, Perush ha-Milot (פירוש המלות), Krakow, Isaac Prostitz, 1580. 18th-century half-binding in faded vellum and marbled paper, probably from the Comtat Venaissin: on the title-piece, handwritten bookplate in a Provençal cursive hand in the name of Elie-Haim Espir. An example of the production of the Krakow Hebrew presses and their Italianate typographical style. A very rare piece, including a word-by-word commentary on the Aramaic paraphrases of the Hagiographers. The history of this copy, which passed through the Comtat Venaissin, makes it particularly interesting.
