Sigmund Zeligman (1873 Karlsruhe - 1940 Amsterdam): was a German-Dutch scholar of Jewish studies, historian and bibliographer. He built one of the most important private Hebraic and Judaica library in Western Europe and wrote several books about the history of Dutch Jewry. The library, which contained approx. 18,000 volumes, was confiscated by the Germans in 1941 and transferred to Berlin. During the war, part of its collections, which was classified as Enemy Literature, reached the Theresienstadt Ghetto. His son was Rabbi Prof. Yitzchak Aryeh Zeligman (1907-1982), an Israeli-Dutch Biblical scholar who headed The Bible Department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The son was deported to Theresienstadt in 1944. He worked in the Ghetto's library and survived the war. He returned to Holland after the war and worked as a librarian at the Department for Jewish Studies of the Amsterdam University. After the war, part of his father's book collection reached Jerusalem via Prague. 

On the flyleaf at the end of the book, an additional signature of Lieberman ben Rabbi Shmuel of Frankfurt am Main. 

Separate illustrated title page for each book - on the title pages, an illustration of David and Goliath and an illustration of David playing the harp.
