Sefer Yalkut Shimoni by Rabbi Shimon Ashkenazi, “the darshan of Frankfurt”, with the commentary Birkat Avraham by Rabbeinu Avraham Gedalya. The first book printed in Livorno.

In the margins are dozens of notes in Yemenite script containing mostly quotes from the Zohar, Midrash Ne’elam, Sefer Chemdat Yamim, and more. Very long, some take up most of the page.
