Mishnayot, Sedarim Zera'im and Mo'ed, with the commentaries of R. Ovadia of Bartenura and Tosfot Yom Tov. Amsterdam: Naftali Hertz Levi, [1739]. Edition with proofread commentary of Tosfot Yom Tov. Interesting inscriptions and dozens of scholarly glosses in Oriental-Rashi script [Europe? 18th century]. The glosses contain explanations and novellae on the Mishnayot. Allusions to beginning and end of tractates. On the title page is an inscription in Oriental-Rashi script: "On the 15th of the month of Av 1749, I have begun to review the study of the Mishnah. He who gave the merit to begin, will merit me to complete the study in health…". On the verso of the title page: inscription upon completing the six Sidrei Mishnah in 1756, and Torah inscriptions. On the margins of leaf 1 is a nice allusion to the beginning and ending letters of Tractate Berachot. Written above this inscription is another inscription about the visit of an emissary from Safed to their city "R. Chaim Moda'i passed here while filling his mission from the city of Safed in 1762" [R. Chaim Moda'i (1720-1794), author of Chaim L'Olam, leading sage of Safed, Constantinople and Izmir. After the devastating 1760 earthquake in Safed, R. Chaim sojourned from the city of Constantinople on a four-year campaign to solicit donations from European Jews and he succeeded in rebuilding Safed from its rubble. In 1764, R. Chaim Moda'i was in Hague in the Netherlands (see: Binyan She'ol, p. 104, Note 100)]. Copy lacking approximately 7 leaves - [3], 98, (leaves 97-98 were bound upside down and leaf 99 is lacking), 100-132 leaves; [1], 165, (lacking leaves 166-167), 168 leaves (lacking about 4 last leaves). 23 cm. Fair condition. Wear and damages to margins. Detached leaves. Contemporary binding, detached and damaged. In the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book (listing 000150651), the pagination is erroneously recorded as follows: [3], 132 leaves; [1], 164 leaves. But inspection of this copy indicates that more leaves are lacking at the end after leaf 168.
