Printed just before the Soncino Family’s flight to Casal Maggiore, the present Later Prophets with the commentary of David Kimchi (RaDa”K), completed the House of Soncino’s first Biblical text. Just as the printer Joshua Soncino stemmed from a distinguished family of printers, so the exegete came from a distinguished family of Bible commentators. See: M. Waxman, Vol. I, pp. 199-200; Amram, pp. 60-61. Provenance: Parke-Bernet Galleries, Important Hebrew Books, Incunabula & Illuminated and Other Manuscripts from the Collection of the Late Michael Zagajski, Part Two, New York, 12th and 13th May 1970, Lot 3.
