summary

A commentary to the more challenging Aggadic passages of the Talmud. Shem Tov ben Isaac ibn Shaprut of Tudela was a 14th-century Spanish philosopher, physician, and polemicist. He has been confused with Shem Tov ben Isaac of Tortosa who lived in the 12th-century. According to Di Castro (Biblioteca Espanola, I, no. 231), the latter was indeed the author of Pardess Rimonim.

ff. 51, (1). Stained, few marginal repairs, previous owner’s marks. Modern calf. Sm. 4to.
