summary

This famed exegesis first appeared in Constantinople in 1514 - although bibliographers have taken note of an earlier, probably phantom edition, 14 years prior. It consists of Masoretic calculations and hermeneutical interpretations, i.e. Gematria and Notarikon. It is a standard component of all editions of the Pentateuch that are accompanied by the Rabbinic commentaries

ff. 65, (1). Some staining in places, few leaves wormed along extreme upper margin not affecting text, censors' signatures and inscriptions at end, small paper repair on title. Later boards, loose, rubbed. Sm. 4to
