23. Reused Yiddish Bible (Commentary on Seder Nezikin)
This volume is a copy of Isaac ben Jacob Alfasi’s (b. 1013) commentary on Seder Nezikin, part of the Mishnah. This edition was printed in Basel in 1602. However, what makes this particular book interesting is that printed waste has been used in the binding of the book. Specifically, the printers used sections from the book of Ecclesiastes (Qoheleth) printed in Yiddish, as can be seen on the first image. In the book, the waste page appears rotated, as in the final image.
