summary

A rare, interesting school-edition. This copy contains the scarce final leaf signed by Saul ben Yitzchak Molcho stating that this volume is not to be used for commercial purposes but for distribution to the local Talmud Torah. Consequently, the top of each page states "Kodesh Lashem" (Sanctified to God). “All teachers and princpals must ensure when one student has finished studying this book, it should be returned and passed on, without charge, to the next student.”
ff. 101, (1). First and last leaf repaired. Modern vellum. 4to
