"The Book of Cows, a Facsimile Edition of the Famed Kuhbuch…". Facsimile edition of a book of animal fables written in Yiddish-Deutch, in Tzena U'Rena letters, by Avraham b. Mattitja Bat-Sheva, with dozens of woodcut illustrations printed in Verona in 1595. London, 1984.
The book was first printed in Verona in 1595, but only a few copies remained. Therefore, Dr. Moshe Rosenfeld printed a limited facsimile edition of numbered copies, ten of which he printed on sheepskin parchment. This copy is no. 4, with the signature of the publisher next to the number.
134, [5] leaves. 21 cm. Excellent condition. Elaborate binding. Charming bookplates on endpapers, by the publisher.
