2-34 leaves. Without title page. Good-fair condition. Spotting, restored tear to Leaf 3. Worm damages. Restored tears to margins of several leaves. New binding.
In comparison to a copy of Tractate Temurah with title page with the year 1528, we found typographic variations. Therefore, we are not certain if this is a variant of the second edition or another printing from 1543 (listed by Vinograd, no. 204).
