Most of this important commentary is incorporated to the Chidushei Anshei Shem found in the standard Vilna edition of the Talmud, under the rubric Maharam Tiktin. The present first edition of the commentary however, contains a number of responsa (viz. verso of title and f. 61b-62a), as well as an introductory essay by the exegete’s son Asher, that were all left out of all subsequent editions
