summary

In the colophon, the author explains this is an extract from a greater work of his on the entire Book of Psalms but due to lack of funds, could not publish. Thus the decision to print this small portion only - for Psalm 83 is receited both in the morning and evening prayers. The complete work was never published. R. Enoch is recorded to have printed four other pamphlets: a homiletical treatise, a dirge on the suffering of Jews in the Ukraine and Little Poland, homilies on the existence of God and responsa published with those of his son, Judah

ff. 4. Lightly browned, upper margin closely shaved with loss. Needs rebinding. Sm. 4to
