Facsimile of Munich Manuscript of Babylonian Talmud - Leiden, 1912
Babylonian Talmud facsimile, Munich manuscript. Leiden, [1912].
577 facsimile plates of the manuscript which was written on vellum in 1342. This manuscript, preserved in Munich, is the only one in existence which contains the entire Babylonian Talmud from beginning to end.
This manuscript served as the basis for the book Dikdukei Sofrim by R. Refael Natan Rabinowitz. The first rabbis who viewed and used this manuscript were the author of Korban Netanel, the Vilna Gaon [who traveled in exile especially to see this manuscript] and the Chida.
Two volumes: [2], 1-293; [2], 294-577 leaves, facsimile plates printed on both sides. 48X37 cm. Magnificent copy. Good condition. Few stains. Gilt edges. Cloth binding, slightly stained and damaged.
