Mishnayot Order Zera'im - with the commentaries of the Rambam and Rabbenu Shimshon (the Rash) of Sens, and Mishnayot Order Taharot - with the commentary of the Rash. Venice, 1522. Two parts (in one volume), from the first Talmud edition published by Daniel Bomberg.
In Bomberg's Talmud edition, Order Taharot was printed in two parts.

Another handwritten inscription on p. 2a of Order Zera'im: "That which G-d granted his servant, Eliezer Yitzchak HaKohen of Palestro". The endpapers contain additional Italian inscription of the Palestro family of Kohanim (Sacerdote Palestro).
At the beginning of Order Taharot, ownership inscription (partially faded): "Acquisition of my money, Yitzckak son of R… Refael… of Porto"; "I attest Yitzchak son of R… Refael of Ventura from Porto, that I gave this book - Order Taharot… to the wise R. Avraham Yagel from Mo[nselice?], in exchange for other books…".
Several glosses. Lengthy gloss on p. 33b of Seder Zera'im.
