Many glosses in Sephardi handwriting [c. 17th/18th century], with scholarly content, questions and answers, explanations and queries [possibly, a leading Turkish sage]. Few glosses in Sephardi handwriting, apparently by a third writer. [67] leaves. (Only Leaves 290-317, 376-415. Originally: 24; 459 leaves). Approximately 34 cm. Poor condition, detached leaves, wear and heavy worming.
