This first edition has additional material not published in later editions. The recto of the title page contains a “shemirah” instituted by Nachmanides and sent from Acre to Barcelona, as a protection against robbers while traveling. Although the pagination correctly follows that cited by Friedberg, Vinograd calls for four supplementary leaves.
