Birkat Eliyahu, homilies on the Torah, by R. Eliyahu Dweck HaCohen. [Constantinople, c. 1785]. First edition.
The printing of the book ceased in the middle, at leaf 72 (existing leaves: from the beginning of Bereshit until the beginning of Parshat Tetzave), no title page was printed. The entire book was printed later in Livorno in 1793.
The name of the book does not appear in this printing, but the words "Birkat Eli'ahu" are handwritten at the beginning of each parshah, possibly in the author's handwriting (compare with the listing of the book in the NLI catalog).
72 leaves. 30 cm. Condition of leaves varies, good-fair (several leaves are in poor condition). Stains and wear. Worming, affecting text of several leaves. Some leaves bear adhesive tape on the text and margins for restoration. Old binding.
