Two volumes. Part I (Torah): 550, [1] leaves. Part II (Neviim and Ketuvim): 289 leaves. Approx. 31-33 cm. Most leaves in first volume in good condition; volume II in fair to fair-poor condition. Stains, including dark stains and dampstains. Extensive worming to second volume, affecting text in many places, partially repaired with paper. Tears and open tears to title page of second volume and several other leaves, partially repaired with paper (title page of volume II reinforced by mounting on paper). Old bindings, worn and damaged (front of binding of first volume detached).
This is the first Hebrew book printed in Livorno. This edition of Yalkut Shimoni differs from previous editions in that the printer proofread and edited the book "according to ancient correct manuscripts", and added entire sections not previously found in the Yalkut Shimoni.
