summary

Although Steinschneider, Habermann and Vinograd call for ff. 454, as opposed to our foliation of ff. 416, it appears that this copy is not wanting, but is rather a variant. (Certainly, the concordance itself is complete from Aleph through Tav.) Habermann writes that available to him was only a strictly Hebrew version, whereas Steinschneider notes a Latin Introduction of "Maggius Parentinus" (i.e. Meir Parenzo). This Latin Introduction is present in our copy
ff. 416. Stamps on title, stained in places. Later morocco. Folio
