The present first edition of the commentary however, contains a number of responsa (viz. verso of title and f. 61b-62a), as well as an introductory essay by the exegete’s son Asher, that were all left out of all subsequent editions

ff. 191. Signature on title, rather dampstained. Contemporary impressive vellum over thick wooden boards, corner-pieces (one lacking), clasps and hinges. Folio
