summary

In his afterword (printed on the unnumbered leaf), Meir Prinz recounts he and his partner, Menachem Porto, reviewed the entire content of the work, essay by essay, in order to correct printer’s errors, especially after the Sabbath, for then the Gentile printers worked without Jewish supervision

Stained in places, neat inner marginal repairs, signed by censor on final leaf. Recent uniform chestnut morocco-backed cloth. Sm. folio
