This MS corresponds with the Mantua ed. in many details, cf. the end of the parasha Lekh lekha (Vol. I, 70 a , blank in the MS). The text of the Commentary ends on fol. 305 b of Vol. II and is followed by an Epilogue on fols. 306 a -307 b , written by the scribe himself in a slightly smaller script. This Epilogue containing an account of the suffering of the Jews in Castile in 1366 has been published by F. Bear, Die Juden im christlichen Spanien II, 1936, no. 209) cf. Y. Bear (= F. Bear), A History of the Jews in Christian Spain I, 1961, p. 449). The Historical parts of this Epilogue are omitted in the Mantua ed. The text concludes with a letter by r. Yizhaq al-Hdb (fol. 307 b -308 b ) which also appears in the printed edition. M. J. de Goeje, Catalogus Codicum Orientalium Bibliothecae Academia Lugduno-Batavce, V (1873), p. 319 (no. MMDCCCVIII).
