Lot 356
Levanon – Gan Na'ul – Amsterdam, 1765 – Signature
Levanon – Gan Na'ul, commentary on the Hebrew language and its roots, word-games and poetic phrases, by Rabbi Naftali Hertz Weisel. Amsterdam, 1765, Part I only. First edition.
On top of title-page, there is a partial owners' signature "-– the author, Mordechai Yitzchak Tama". Rabbi Mordechai Ben Yitzchak Tama translated the Rambam's responsum from Arabic into Hebrew in the book "Pe'er Ha-Dor". Levanon – Gan Na'ul was published in the same year and the same printing press, so it is reasonable assume that the full signature said "I received this book from the author, Mordechai Yitzchak Tama".
[4], 21,92, 94-96, 98-101 [i.e. :100], [1] leaf, 20 cm. Title-page stained and worn out, restored with scotch- tape.
