On the first leaf, a signature: "שלום צבי ב"ר מרדכי יהודא ז"ל מלאדז’". Additional signatures on the title page are partly cut or have not been thoroughly studied. 

On leaf 2a, a lengthy and significant gloss about the author’s introduction, with square and curly script. Its content indicates its writer was knowledgeable in Chassidut: "…כי התורה מתלבשת בלבושין גשמיי… דבריהם דברי אש וכל המעשיות וכל אגדתות כולם סודי סודות רזין דאורייתא…". In addition, a handwritten correction on leaf 31a. We did not manage to identify the writer of these glosses.
