Extent: Leaves 3a-58a : ill. (some col.), paper ; 20 x 15.
Note:
Shelfmark: MS X893 Se36 Manuscript written on paper in Ashkenazic cursive handwriting. The Ms. is done in magnificent fashion and contains a large number of illustrations, tables and even mechanical devices in all of which several colors are employed. In addition, many drawings are included that do not bear on the text at all but are merely decorative, for example a picture of Adam and Ave covered with fig leaves (leaf 19b), or Agag's execution by Samuel (16b). The author of this work can not be determined, but it is based on work with similar title by Eliʻezer Berlin Ashkenazi.
