Five printed volumes, margins containing extensive, erudite manuscript notes by R. Moshe Yehoshua ben Tzvi Hirsch Halevi, Maggid of Kaminetz and Tchechinovtza. With signatures of previous owners including Moshe Halevi Rubinstein of Mir, members of the Orlinsky family and others.

These lengthy scholarly glosses were written by an accomplished rabbinic scholar familiar with a wide range of sources. In addition to his own philosophical insights, he cites the Zohar, Abrabanel, Ikarim, Alsheich, as well as the later Ohel Yehoshua by R. Yehoshua Heller.
