EXTREMELY RARE! A volume out of a 19th century lavish edition of the Babylonian Talmud, the ancient codex of Jewish law. The book includes the first tractate, Berakhot, and the Mishnah of the entire order of Zera`im. The book features a decorated title page, and handsome text decoration at the beginning of each tractate. 350x250mm, 112+112 double pages. Brown leather hardcover. Page edges marbled. Cover worn and scratched. Cover edges rubbed. Sticker on endpaper. Pages 2-5 partially detached. Inner spine visible at page 1. Pages yellowing. Final page creased and slightly torn. Save for the aforementioned wear, this old and sturdy volume of the Talmud is in good condition.
