Rare. Not in JNUL. Not seen by Yaari who lists it based upon Duker. Yudlov lists it based upon a copy in a private collection in London. The final leaf contains the following interesting comment: “On these nights it is customary to allow even the meanest Hebrew servant to sit at table…as we were all equally alike in bondage.”
