summary

A collection of essays on Talmudic methodology and commentaries on selected Tractates by, among others, David ibn Zimra, Samuel Al-Valensi and Abraham di Boton. The printer decries his inability to record the correct Talmudic citations, due to the scarcity of Talmudic tractates following the burning of the Talmud in Italy. See f.17r. mispaginated.

ff. 58, lacking final ff.6 of indices. Few light stains. Later vellum-backed marbled boards, rubbed. 8vo
