An early manuscript of an important commentary to Yoreh De’ah. It opens with signed approbations from the Sephardic scholars of Eretz Israel in 1691. The initial nine leaves consist of the Shulchan Aruch and Mapah set in one column and the commentary on the second column, thereafter, only the Shulchan Melachim is present. Following the commentary, a poem entitled “Kether Malchuth” by R. Dovid ibn Zimra appears in another hand. The final leaf contains a poem of rebuke beginning with the words: “Shuvu Banim Shovavim.” This commentary was first published in 2011 by Mechon Yerushalayim, the author R. Yitzchak Bueno (c. 1620-1695), served as head of the Rabbinical court in Jerusalem (see biographical introduction to the printed edition).
