Me'Am Lo'ez, commentary on the Torah in Ladino, part IV – the Book of Numbers (BaMidbar), by Rabbi Isaac Magrisso. Constantinople, [1764]. First edition.
There are omissions at the beginning and at the end. Between pages 8-11 appears the map of Israel's camp in the desert, which does not appear in all of the copies. (In the Bibliography Institute CD, record 0311674, it is written: "between pages 8 and 11 there was, probably, a folded leaf with the map of Israel in the desert"). On page 158/1 appears a map of Eretz Israel according to a map by Eliyahu Mizrahi, which appeared in his book about Rashi commentary in Venice in 1527 and was, most probably, the first map printed in Hebrew. "Eretz Israel" appears in the center, east facing up. 7-8, 11-136 leaves (instead of: [2], 8, 11-168 leaves) + a plate between leaves no. 8 and 11. 29 cm. Condition varies, fair-poor: stains, mold-marks and moth. Rough tears. See Wajntraub, maps no. 8 and 32. Map with stains and creases.
