Ein Yisrael and Beit Yisrael (Ein Yaakov) – Both Parts, With Beit Lechem Yehudah – Venice, 1625
Ein Yaakov – Part I, Ein Yisrael (including Beit Lechem Yehudah), and Part II, Beit Yisrael, by R. Yaakov ibn Habib. Venice: Pietro, Aluise and Lorenzo Bragadini at press of Giovanni Calleoni, 1625. Three books in one volume.

Ein Yaakov is an anthology of the aggadot in the Talmud with selected commentaries by rishonim, authored by R. Yaakov ibn Habib, with Part II completed and printed by his son R. Levi ibn Habib.
