summary

Masechta Shabbath was only reissued for the first time in 1530. It is likely therefore, that in assembling this hybrid group of Tractates, Bomberg had remaining copies of Masechta Shabbath from the first edition which he bound with the reissue to complete the volume.

Minimally stained in places. Modern morocco, gilt. Folio
