summary

Although the title-page mirrors the Jerusalem edition, Shoshanna Halevy (p. 15) speculates the actual printing was done in Lemberg. She deduces this to be a pirated edition due to the addition of a haskamah by R. Aaron Moses of Brody and a compiler’s foreword. * WITH: Another copy, with a variant title page. [Vinograd, Koenigsberg 183]. Jerusalem (i.e. Koenigsberg, 1858).
