177 leaves. Text in Hebrew. (folio) 39.5x26 cm. (15½x10¼"), later quarter leather and boards.
Daniel Bomberg (died 1549) was an early printer of Hebrew language books. A Christian, born in Antwerp, he was primarily active in Venice between 1516 and 1549. He produced the editio princeps of the Mikraot Gedolot, the Rabbinic Bible, consisting of the Hebrew text plus rabbinical commentaries, between 1516 and 1517. The present volume contains the major prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. Because of seemingly identical collations of this volume amongh the several Bomberg editions of the Bible, we have been unable to identify its precise year of publication.
