About This Item
Basel, Konrad Waldkirch, 1599. Printer's device, and historiated initials at top of title-page. Double columns. [166] ff. Sm. folio. Old boards (spine and all edges leather- rebacked). In a cloth case. Basel, Konrad Waldkirch, 1599. First Basel edition of this dictionary, entitled "Arukh" of the entire post-biblical literature, and a special dictionary to the Talmud and Midrash. Rabbi Nathan ben Jechiel b. Abraham (c. 1020-1106) was a Jewish Italian, and both a lexicographer and one of the most important Talmudic authorities of the 11th century. He quotes on individual headwords texts from many of today lost writings and leads rabbinic expressions on their supposed original in Greek, Latin, Persian, etc. It attained great popularity especially at the work on Tamudic lexica up to the present. This work was first issued at Venice in 1533, but in fact it is not a word-for-word reprint.- Due to paper quality slightly browned throughout, some small wormtracks in inner margin of last few leaves, otherwise a good copy. - VD 16 N 160; Fürst III, p. 21; Prijs 158; Wininger, JNB, vol. 4, p. 500.
