summary

R. Nathan’s Aruch is “a manifestation not only of its author’s brilliance and deep acquaintance with sources, but also of his encyclopaedic knowledge. Indeed, in some instances it is the sole source for ancient traditions of Talmudic interpretation.” S. B. Linderman, Sepher Sarid Be’arachin (1972), introduction

ff. 166. Dampstained in places, trace woming on last few leaves. First and last four leaves remargined. Contemporary blind-tooled vellum, re-backed, remnants of clasps and hinges. Sm. folio
