At end of Zeraim, a manuscript leaf in an Italian hand is appended with explanations pertaining to the final chapter concerning the laws of an androgyne at the end of Bikurim. The wording of the commentary on this leaf is similar to that published in the Responsa of R. Menachem Azaria of Fano (no. 130).
