Deinard notes in Koheleth America (no. 77) that due to a fire at the bindery, only 40 copies of this work survived. As is his wont, in addition to his comments concerning Crescas, Deinard rants against Solomon Schechter and what Deinard regarded to be the exceptionally ignorant level of studies Schechter presided over at the Jewish Theological Seminary.
