A commentary on the laws of tereifoth (an animal unfit for ritual slaughter). Although the identity of the author is unknown, he functioned in the city of Modena as he states: “A strange matter came before me here in Modena a place where the custom in Hilchoth Tereifoth follows the opinion of Mahara’m” (f. 107a). The author often cites his contemporary R. Yitzchak Levi Vali of Modena (the Mahri’l), see ff. 27a, 30b, 35b. On f. 100a he praises the custom of the community of Verona.
