Mishnayot, Orders Kodashim and Taharot, with the commentary of R. Ovadia of Bartenura, and with Tosafot Yom Tov. Kraków: Menachem Nachum Meisels, 1644-1645. Mahadura Batra of the Tosafot Yom Tov commentary, published in the author's lifetime. Rare edition, published shortly before the Chmielnicki massacres.
Two parts (Kodashim and Taharot) in one volume. Divisional title pages. The volume contains many dozens of lengthy glosses in Italian script by an unidentified writer. In some glosses he quotes his teacher the Rabach – R. Binyamin HaKohen Vitali, rabbi of Reggio.
Most of the glosses quoting the Rabach were published (with slight textual variations) in the Beit Aharon VeYisrael anthologies, based on a similar copy of Mishnayot (from the same edition) containing glosses handwritten by the Rabach and by one of his disciples. Not all the glosses in the present book appear there, and some remain unpublished.
Signature on the title page, deleted with ink.
R. Binyamin HaKohen Vitali – the Rabach (1651-1727), close disciple of R. Moshe Zacuto (the Remez). He served as rabbi and yeshiva dean in Reggio, and was a leading kabbalist and halachic authority in Italy in his times. His son-in-law and disciple, R. Yeshayahu Bassan, was the prominent teacher of the Ramchal.

Marginal open tears to title page and first leaves of Kodashim, not affecting text. Tears to several leaves, including minor open tears, slightly affecting text. First gathering loose. Minor worming. Early leather binding, damaged, with worming and open tears.
