Chevel Bnei Yehudah, commentary on the Passover Haggadah [with the text], Rabbi Shimon Chavilio. Mantua-Venice, [1694-1695]. Among the earliest commentaries on the Haggadah ever printed. Ownership signatures on title page, the erased signature is of Rabbi Avraham Chai Mutsafi.
It is noted on the title page that the book was printed in Mantua, however, in the colophon at the end of the book it is printed: “Its completion… here in Venice… 1695”. The reason for this is that the last leaves, from leaf 41 on, were printed in Venice.
51, [1] leaves. 18.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Moth marks. Hole on title page. Ownership notations. Loose and worn cardboard binding. Ya'ari 64; Otzar Hahaggadot 91.
