Unique Features: This important work was hidden and disappeared for hundreds of years. It was printed for the first time from very old handwriting, on parchment which was in Rabbi Akiva Lehren of Amsterdam's archives, and before that in the archives of Rabbi Shaul Berlin, author of Bsamim Rosh. The manuscript was sent by boat and the boat sunk, and the manuscript was miraculously saved.
Condition: Very fine except the title page of part three which is detached. New bindings.
