summary

First of an intended 4-part series entitled Minchath Kohen, of which only two volumes appeared. Indeed, even the isuance of this volume was incomplete, as the printer left out the planned sermons on the book of Shemoth in nearly all extant copies.

ff. 307. Lacks, as all copies, the final 58 leaves on Shemoth. Dampstained, final 7 leaves with marginal repairs and supplied from another copy. Modern calf-backed marbled boards. 4to.
