efer HaRokeach - Fano, 1505 - The First Hebrew Book with a Title Page
Sefer HaRokeach by R. Eleazar ben Judah of Worms. Fano: Gershom Soncino, Passover 1505. First edition.
One of the most significant books of Halachic and ethical literature, "carefully proofread by the light of our exile, R. Yehuda Yaaleh of Pesaro". Many bibliographers posit that this is the first Hebrew book to be printed with a title page.
The author, R. Eleazar of Worms (1176-1238), was a disciple of his father, R. Yehuda (Judah) ben Kalonymus of Mainz, as well as of R. Yehuda HaChasid, author of Sefer Chassidim, from whom he learned Kabbalah. He authored many books, most prominently the Sefer HaRokeach, and he is commonly referred to as "Baal HaRokeach".
Several glosses in Italian Hebrew script. Ancient ownership inscriptions on the title page ("Mine, Shlomo of Fano", and others). Censorship inscription on the last page.
[109] leaves, 27.5 cm. Most leaves are in good condition; several leaves are in fair condition. Stains; dampstains. Repaired tears and damage to the bottom of the title page and several other pages (minor damage to several words). New ornate leather binding, with matching leather case.
