This plate is larger than the other leaves of the sefer and is folded. Antrique rabbinic signature at the top of the title page: An old ownership inscription on the title page: An impressive old signature at the end of the sefer: Beneath it is another impressive old signature: Signatures of Heshel Rosenbaum. An old inscription dating from around the time of publication reads: “Its price: 48 Danish shillings.” This indicates that, already close to the time of publication, this copy was being sold for the enormous sum of 48 shillings!
