Catalogue Note

In addition to the verse by verse translation, some sections include an Aramaic commentary, parts of which may be found in the commentaries of Rashi or Kimhi and are likely based on earlier midrashic and geonic material (see for example the haftarah for the first day of Rosh ha-Shanah, found in this copy on ff.96v-99v).
