First edition of commentary. A wide margined copy. With extensive scholarly marginalia in Sephardic and Ashkenazic hands.

The knowledgeable marginal notes contain a wide range of citations from the Rishonim and other Gaonic responsa. Some of the Sephardic notes are transcribed on the same page in a later Ashkenazic hand (see f. 5a et al). R. Yisrael Moshe Chazan (1808-62), rabbi of Rome, Corfu and Alexandria, was the grandson of Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Haham Yoseph Hazan (1741-1819) author of Chikrei Lev. See JE, Vol. VI, p. 288.
