Tikun Sofrim HaYesharim. Five Books of the Torah, with Haftarot and Five Megillot. Amsterdam: Leib son of Moshe Sussmans, [1767]. Fine five-volume set.

Original fine leather bindings, with gilt decorations.

Two title pages per volume, the first illustrated with a copper engraving (produced by the artist A. Santcroos).

Accurate Tikun Sofrim by R. Itzek Premsla, published for the second time by his son R. Hirsch (the first edition was printed in Amsterdam, 1751). Illustration on first title page, depicting a deer, presumably in reference to the name of the publisher (see: Yaari, Diglei HaMadpisim HaIvriyim, illustration 140 and p. 168).

Each volume of the present edition commences with Divrei Emet by R. Itzek Premsla, explaining the reasoning behind his editorial work. At the beginning of the first volume are reprints of most of the approbations for the first edition, as well as new approbations from R. Shaul Rabbi of Amsterdam, his brother-in-law R. Shaul HaLevi Rabbi of the Hague, and R. Shlomo Shalem.
