Maarechet HaElahut, faith, kabbalah and Jewish philosophy, attributed to R. Peretz son of Yitzchak of Gerona, with a commentary by R. Yehudah Chayat and "a commentary by someone else". Mantua: Meir son of Efraim of Padua and Yaakov son of Naftali HaKohen of Gazzuolo, [Rosh Chodesh Adar II (February) 1558].

This edition was printed about four months after the first edition in Ferrara (Cheshvan/October 1557). The difference between the editions is in the "commentary by someone else", which in the first edition was printed as "commentary by an unknown author". In this edition, many sections of the commentary based on Greek philosophy were removed, while many other passages with other authors' comments were added.

Ownership inscriptions on front and back endpaper, including of "Meir Bloch" of Metz (deleted by overwriting). Partially deleted ownership inscription on title page. Lengthy inscription on verso of leaf, signed by "Yitzchak Unna".
