Fuks writes: “As we have not been able to see copies of the work, we cannot give the description of the contents nor the enumeration of the types which have been used.” According to Vinograd, JNUL does not possess a copy. For the translator, a Christian student of Menasseh ben Israel, see A. L. Katchen, Christian Hebraists and Dutch Rabbis (Cambridge, 1984) pp. 235-47.
