summary

The author's earler commentaries to Tractates Baba Kama, Baba Metzia and Baba Bathra were published in Lublin 1624. His Talmud novellaes are appreciated for their original intrerpretations - oftentimes disagreeing with both Rashi and Tosfoth and generally following the school of thought propounded by Maimonides

ff. 2, 165. Some staining, previous owner's signature on first leaf, slight marginal repair on some leaves not affecting text. Modern calf. Folio
