The first publication of these commentaries in square letters - rather than Rashi letters - (thus anticipating the current trend by approximately 400 years! The publisher/ editor was R. Abraham b. Reuven ibn Nachman, a scholar from the city of Marrekesh in Barbria. Tragically, he fell ill in the midddle of publication. On his death bed he gathered all the workers and admonished them to continue to do their work faithfully under the editorial supervision of his friend R. Yitzchak Gershon.and R. Abraham B Shlomo (See his note on p.164). Includes the rare leaf inserted between pp. 84 and 85 (It seems that the printers mistakenly omitted a page of text and later inserted this leaf to correct the matter). The order of the final mishnayot is unusual in this edition with Kelim following Uktzin.
