Mikra'ot Gedolot – Pentateuch, with commentators. Venice, [1617]. Bragadini Printing Press. [First and last leaves are from an edition of Mikra'ot Gedolot printed by Bomberg in Venice, 1547]. Hundreds of glosses in Italian handwriting, some are particularly long, most of them about the Even Ezra commentary. Content of glosses is of importance and their scope is that of a whole composition. A significant part of the glosses are by Rabbi Yitzchak Lampronti, author of "Pachad Yitzchak" and some others by his rabbi, Rabbi Yehudah Briel, Av Beit Din of Mantua, copied by the writer of the glosses, as written on page A/1: "All that is found in this book I copied from a book by Yitzchak Lampronti; glosses and commentaries in this book were compiled from the Chumash of Rabbi Yehudah Briel, here in Mantua, and just a few I added". Before a long gloss on page 156/1 appears: "…my teacher Rabbi Yehudah Briel of Mantua in his responsum to Eliya Daniel Mahtov in the year 1674, …". Words by Rabbi "Raphael Norzi" are cited in two of the glosses. Rabbi Yehuda Briel (1643-1722, Otzar HaRabbanim 6886), Great Italian rabbi. Posek and grammarian, rabbi and Rosh Yeshivah in Mantua and member in the Beit-Din of Rabbi Moshe Zakut. The Chida called him "Abir HaRo'im" and writes that he is "famous throughout Italy".

Rabbi Yitzchak Lampronti (1679-1757, Otzar HaRabbanim 10786), a sage, physician and one of the leading rabbis of Italy. Rebbe and Rosh Yeshiva in Ferrara. His disciples served as rabbis of prominent communities throughout Italy. Was famous for his monumental enterprise, a series of books "Pachad Yitzchak" – first Halachic encyclopedia which contains great content pertaining to various matters related to Italian Jewry, as well as many Halachic responsa by rabbis of Italy which were preserved only there. Only part of the composition was printed during his lifetime. [6], 228 leaves. Leaves [1-2] and [226-228] are from the Venice 1547 edition. 41 cm. Condition varies. Most leaves in good condition.
