Est: $800 - $1,200
PRICE REALIZED $700
Colossal facsimile of the monumental Munich Codex, the earliest complete manuscript of the entire Babylonian Talmud. It is the only recorded manuscript of the Talmud to have survived the wide-spread destruction of books in both 15th-century Spain and 16th-century Italy. Needless to say, the manuscript contains numerous and significant textual variants from the present received version; it formed the basis of R.N.N. Rabinovicz’s important Dikdukei Sofrim.
