summary

This copy without the ff.6 Sepher Habakook at end occasionally found bound in. “It is...very likely that the Sepher Habakook was printed by itself a month earlier and that copies of Masecheth Purim in which Sepher Habakook was found, merely had the two parodies bound together.” I. Davidson, Parody in Jewish Literature (1966) p.118

ff. 35. Browned, margins expertly repaired. Marbled boards, 12mo.
