A TALMUDIC MISCELLANY: A Thousand and One Extracts from The Talmud, The Midrashim and The Kabbalah. by Hershon, Paul Isaac

London: Trübner & Co., 1880. FIRST EDITION. Binding shows handling and generally soiled; internals free of lining or marking; VERY GOOD cloth copy with Trubner's gilt series vignette [Trubner Oriental Series] adorning the front panel. William Simpson's copy (author of "The Buddhist Praying Wheel" and others) with his bookplate -- most interesting -- and his signature with date just above the errata page in the prelims. Excellent notes and references in his hand are to be found at the rear of the volume, but not a single jot within the text itself, a fine practice often followed by Dr. Charles Muses as well. 361 pages, plus Trubner catalogue appended. Tall 8vo.
