Collection of Galley Proofs from a "Bindings Geniza" - From Salonika and Livorno Printing Presses, with Handwritten Corrections and Glosses
Collection of galley proofs from Salonika and Livorno printing presses taken from a "bindings geniza". Most contain handwritten emendations and glosses. [Salonika and Livorno, 18th-19th century].
The proofs include: leaf with handwritten corrections from the proof of Sefer Chikekei Lev by R. Chaim Palagi, Salonika 1840, as well as leaves with corrections from Sefer Mishpat Tzedek by R. Meir ben Shem Tov (Salonika, 1795), Sefer Ketem Paz by R. Shimon Lavi (Livorno, 1795), Responsa Machazeh Avraham by R. Avraham de Boton (Salonika, 1795), and others. When compared with the printed editions, it was found that all the glosses and emendations on these leaves were included in the final text. Several of the leaves are unidentified, including leaves from an unidentified edition of the Zohar.
Approximately 30 leaves and leaf fragments. Size and condition vary. Stains, wear and extensive worming.
