Old binding with wear, a few moth holes, a few bits of tape, stains, light tears mainly on the first title page and last leaf, overall good condition.

The last pages include the table of errors to the edition with a special title page, which isn’t found in many copies and is therefore considered rare. Title page has note: “This error table has been prepared in front of me and I called it Minchat Yitzhak…Yitzhak ben Moshe Segal of Berezan.”
