summary

Yudlov notes (no. 778) the Mehlman copy to be similarly incomplete. Indeed he states that no complete copy is extant. As a young man, Joseph Karo resided briefly in Salonika, where he came under the influence of the important Talmudic scholar and Kabbalist Joseph Taitazek.

ff.80 (of 101/102?). Title page and ff.17-24,90-101 provided in facsimile. Stained in places, marginal paper repairs with occasional loss. Modern calf. 4to.
