summary

ff. 167 and 168 have been deliberately removed from our copy because the owner, evidently a Jew, found offensive the remark by Münster which occurs there: “The Creator Who gave the Torah is one God—but by miracle was born of a virgin”!

Hebrew: ff. 166 (our copy is missing the final two leaves which have been supplied by hand). Latin: ff. 80 (last 3 leaves blank).Hebrew title and text read right to left; Latin title and text read left to right. A clean copy with ever so minor stains. Modern boards. 8vo.
