summary
RARE. The JNUL copy of the first work is incomplete. The pagination of the second work differs from the copy listed by Vinograd. The third work appears to be unrecorded. The colophon states the typesetter’s name as “HaBachur Shabethai Baruch b. Menachem Polako.” The Polako family provided a number of typesetters and workers for various publishers in Venice. However Yaari, in Mechkarei Sepher, mentions only four other members of the Polako family, but does not list Shabettai Baruch. The third part of the volume was apparently bound in in order to make this miniature book a complete and useful compact volume for the entire year
