The manuscript comments were copied from Igroth Yashar by R. Isaac Samuel Reggio (1784-1855), published in Vienna, 1834-36. They contain Bible comments and a translation in Hebrew by Reggio of a chapter of Ma’amar al Matzav HaYehudim by Simcha Luzzatto. The marginal notes to Eichah contain the commentary of Joseph ibn Kaspi and were also taken from Igroth Yashar.
