summary

Based on R. David Kimchi’s Sepher Shorashim, the first Hebrew-JudeoGerman dictionary. Written in order to assist teachers and students in their studies, and to replace shoddier earlier translations which, as Minden puts it in his introduction, ‘corrupt the sweet words of Torah with nonsense.’

ff. (2) 154 (1). Dampstained, lower corners worn, final few leaves with repairs. Modern calf-backed marbled boards. Sm. 4to.
