DescriptionLeather bound Hebrew bible with the title page and introduction in Latin with metal fasteners. This is a third edition dated 1756 and was published in Leipzig. . Inside the front cover are inscriptions in Latin (red) and Yiddish (black). The Latin mentions, amongst other things, a Wolfgang Hirsch. The Yiddish features a date, possibly 13 (?) Marcheshvan, in a year that corresponds to something early in the 19th century. The Latin is dated 28 November 1821, but the Yiddish is dated twenty days earlier (13 Marcheshvan = 8 November), also in the same year. The Yiddish, like the Latin, also mentions Wolfgang Hirsch, spelling Wolfgang as two separate names: וואלף גאנג הירש
