summary

This is the first of four Pentateuch editions that Heidenheim issued between 1818 and 1821. A student of R. Nathan Adler in Frankfurt, Wolf Heidenheim (1757-1832) acquired a reputation as a most diligent and punctilious Hebrew grammarian, Masoretic scholar and fine Hebrew printer. This is an exceptionally fine copy.

Original gilt-ruled vellum with morocco spine-labels, all edges gilt. Thick 8vo.
