summary

A bibliographic curiosity is the fact that the contents of “f. 120v.” have been duplicated on the facing page “141r.” except that the latter contains a line and a half missing in the former, from “shem shamayim le-vatalah” until “she’ein zo netilah kol ikar.” The explanation for this curiosity is rather obvious. Realizing the omission of these lines, the printer then proceeded to reprint the entire page supplying the missing text

ff. (4), 164, (1), 4-10. ff. 86-89 out of sequence. Mispaginated though apparently complete. Some pages laid to size; others supplied from other copies. Waterstained. Modern boards. Folio. Sold not subject to return
