The JNUL copy of the first work is incomplete. The pagination of the second work differs from the copy listed by Vinograd. The third work appears to be unrecorded. The colophon states the typesetter’s name as “HaBachur Shabthai Baruch b. Menachem Polako.” Yaakov b. Yitzchak Polako was the typesetter for the second work. The Polako family provided a number of typesetters and workers for various publishers in Venice. However Yaari, in Mechkarei Sepher, mentions only four other members of the Polako family, but does not list Shabthai Baruch. The third (incomplete) work in this volume was apparently bound in in order to make this miniature book a complete and useful compact volume for the entire year.
