Sefer Maharil – The Primary Source of Minhagei Ashkenaz, Cremona 1558.

An early (second) edition of the famed Sefer Maharil, which quickly became a primary source for Minhagei Ashkenaz, often quoted by the Rema. It was first published in Sabbioneta in 1556. Due to its immense popularity, it was quickly reprinted just over one year later in Cremona. 

This edition is scarce; rarely seen at auction. In 2022, a complete copy sold for $4920, see here:  Maharil Cremona

Some stains; worming present. 

119 pp. Lacking final leaf (page 2 of indices)
