summary

One of the areas of scholarship in which R. David Kimchi excelled, was as a polemicist in regard to Christian-Jewish disputation. The present leaf, is exceptionally scarce as it was immediately removed from its original source, the first Biblia Rabbinica (1517) by zealous Papal censors.

Single leaf. Wormed and stained. Unbound. Folio
