Leaf 1/1a has a ms title page with the word נביאים, now almost completely faded, as is the hand-written note in Hebrew at the top. Wanting leaves 3/6 (blanks) in parts 1 and 2. Two leaves have an unusual watermark: a hand upraised, holding a sword (part 4, leaves 7/10 and 7/12.) Bound in full calf, blind-tooled with ruled and ornamental borders, with Latin title gilt-stamped on red morocco spine label: Prophetae Prior cum Com Rabbin Sonc. 1486. LC copy has the armorial bookplate of the Duke of Sussex, and the armorial bookplate of William Horatio Crawford, Lakelands, Cork. Although it is difficult to say with certainty, there is a good chance this copy of the Prophetae Priores was first owned by William Crawford (William Horatio Crawford's father) who also collected rare books. When his father passed away, WHC inherited his library. (University of Leeds webiste: William Horation Crawford page - https://library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections/view/1160) After WHC's death in 1888, his collection was sold by Sotheby's, 12 March 1891.- Owner
