Biurim on Rashi, Venice 1593. Attributed to the Kabbalist R. Nosson Shapiro.


Commentary on Rashi, attributed  to the Kabbalist R. Nosson Shapiro of Horodna. It was later revealed by the author's son R. Yitzchak (see introduction to Imrei Shefer, Krakow 1597), that this work was not actually written by his father but by an unknown author, who falsely attributed this work to R. Nosson Shapiro. 


With various illustrations throughout the work. On pp. 28, a ladder seen in Jacob's dream. On pp. 85, there is a depiction of the Menorah used in the Beis Hamikdash. And perhaps most famously, there is a map depicting the land of Israel and its bordering cities according the Bible (pp. 150). 


Worming throughout. 


180 pp.
