He printed 16 parts, until Tractate Ketubot, yet in 1717 he was compelled to interrupt the printing. In 1720, he resumed the printing of the rest of the volumes, from Tractate Kiddushin onwards, in Frankfurt am Main. After the entire Talmud was completed, he reprinted the tractates he had already printed in Amsterdam (see: R. N.N. Rabinowitz, Maamar Al Hadpasat HaTalmud, Jerusalem 1952, pp. 109-111). These volumes consist of some tractates printed in Amsterdam, as well as some which were printed in Frankfurt am Main, bound shortly after the printing with matching, leather-covered wood bindings. One volume contains the last tractate printed in Amsterdam (Ketubot), bound with the first tractate printed in Frankfurt (Kiddushin). 6 volumes. 32 cm. Overall good condition. Stains. Tears and wear to a few leaves. Worming to several leaves. Fine, original bindings (some damaged), made from wood covered with leather, with clasp remnants.
