summary

Samuel Aripul (1540?-after 1586) wrote Mizmor Lethodah upon recovery from illness in 1571. The previously published Zevach Todah (Constantinople, 1572), a homiletical exposition of Psalm 119, is included as an introduction here. The pamphlet, Agadath Shmuel, appended to Mizmor Lethodah, outlines the contents of Aripul’s works and would appear to be the earliest Hebrew book-prospectus. See EJ, Vol. III, col. 437

First title wormed, ff.11 and 156 torn. Waterstained. Contemporary blind-tooled calf, rubbed. 4to
