Tractate Avot with Yayin Levanon commentary, [by Naphtali Herz Weisel]. Berlin, [1775]. First edition.
Old ownership inscription on title-page.
Rabbis approbations written by: Rabbi Shaul – Rabbi of Ashkenazi community of Amsterdam; Rabbi Shlomo Shalem – Rabbi of Sephardic Amsterdam community, Rabbi Yechezkel HaLevi Landa of Prague – author of Noda BiYehuda, Rabbi David Tevl of Brod – Rabbi and Av Beit Din of Lissa.
