summary

Bibliographers differ in regard to recording the place of publication of this work. Ben Yaakov (p. 581 no. 627) records Berlin, as does Vinograd. Friedberg records Roedelheim and is followed by the bibliographers of JNUL. There is a third possibility of Frankfurt a/Main as the author was the private tutor of the children of the communal leaders Joseph Oppenheimer and Aaron Maye in Frankfurt am Main as stated in the introduction. We wonder why would the author travel to another city when he could have his work published locally?
pp. (6), 46. Brittle. Loose in contemporary wrappers. 12mo.
