Three 16th century books, bound together (the first two books were presumably printed together):
• She'erit Yosef, Talmudic methodology, by R. Yosef ibn Verga. Mantua: brothers Yitzchak and Shlomo, sons of R. Shmuel of Norzi [Tomaso Ruffinelli press], [1593]. Second edition.
• Halichot Olam, Talmudic methodology, by R. Yeshua HaLevi, with Mevo HaGemara by R. Shmuel Hanagid. [Mantua: Tomaso Ruffinelli, 1593].
• Responsa of the Ran (Rabbi Nissim Gerondi). Rome: Isaac de Lattes, Benjamin of Arigniano and Antonio Blado, 1545-1546.
The first edition of Responsa of the Ran, printed from the sole existing manuscript (as noted by the publishers). Glosses by R. Isaac de Lattes were printed in the book.
