Commentary on the Midrash on the Five Megillot (Perush le-midrash hamesh megil[ot]) is an early example of Jewish printing in Cracow.^[1]

In 1568, King Sigismund II Augustus granted Isaac ben Aaron from Prostitz (Czech: Prostějov) in Moravia the exclusive right to print Jewish books in Cracow and the surrounding area. Commentary on the Midrash on the Five Megillot is the earliest book printed by Isaac ben Aaron Prostitz, dating from 1569.^[1] It contains a commentary by Naftali Hirc (Hirtz) ben Menachem of Lviv on the Midrash on the Five Megillot.^[1] The title page contains a printer's mark depicting a deer (a symbol of love for the Torah) and a symbol of the lineage of Naphtali.^[1] The National Library of Poland purchased the book in 1971 from Władysław Chrapusta, Polish journalist, diplomat in Israel and bibliophile.^[1]
