Two works in one volume (142x95 mm). Contemporary calf, panel within blind-ruled concentric frames with four gilt corner pieces and a gilt centerpiece among the gilt initials “BB”, spine with three raised bands and gilt ornaments, gilt edges (worn and rubbed, spine partly repaired, joints partly opened). On the front first flyleaf and on both title pages ownership entry of Bartolomeo Balbiani, a member of an important family of Luccan merchants, who were mostly active in Lyon and Antwerp in the first half of the 16^th century (cf. G. Miani, Balbani, Francesco, in: “Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani”, vol. 5, Rome, 1963, s.v.). The book was bound for him as the initials on the panels clearly refer to him. On the front flyleaf is another later ownership entry (“Di stefano balbani”), which seems to indicate that the book remained in the family's possession for some time after Bartolomeo's death. With a few manuscript marginal annotations in Hebrew. Some light browning and staining, but a good, genuine copy.

An interesting miscellany of two extremely rare Hebrew school texts put together by and bound for a Luccan merchant living in France or in the Flanders in the mid-16^th century.
