Moses ben Nachman—also known as Nachmanides or Ramban—was one of the most important rabbinic figures in medieval Judaism (b. 1194). This volume, printed in Lisbon in 1489, contains Ramban’s commentary on the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. The decorative border on the title page is attributed to Alfonso Fernández de Córdoba. The volume also has hand-written homiletical texts at the front and back, written in a cursive Hebrew script. For more on this unique book, see
this report from Dr Javier del Barco.
