The printing of this edition commenced in Riva di Trento in 1562, however production was interrupted and eventually removed to Venice for completion. There, a new title-page was issued noting Venice as being the place of publication, athough non-uniform fonts completed the volume (viz. ff. 5-44 and 49-64). See Tauber & Sonne, Kiryat Sepher vol. VI pp. 455-56 and vol. VII pp. 168-6 Meir Arama (1460-c. 1545), a native of Saragossa, fled the Expulsion to Naples and eventually sunk roots in Salonika, where he preached to the emigré Aragonian Community. He was the son of the “Ba’al ha-Akeidah.”
