[Central or Eastern Europe, c. 1700]
4o (195 x 150 mm). 120 leaves (including a few blank pages). Brown ink. Ashkenazic semi-cursive scripts. (Browned and a few stains, frayed corners and edges.) Modern blind and gold-tooled brown morocco, red stained edges, two modern and four older paper flyleaves at back and front.
CONTENTS:
Includes many glosses attributed to Zacuto and some by Nathan Spira. In MS Moscow, Russian State Library, MS Guenzburg 543, fols. 63-164, a similar, but not identical, collection of glosses is explicitly attributed to Zacuto.

In a printed copy of the Zohar on Leviticus-Deuteronomy in a private collection (Institute of Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts, Jerusalem, F 8464), the same glosses were copied in the margins.
