The manuscript of R. Asher's commentary to the Mishnaic Order of Zera'im, dealing with the agricultural laws obligatory in the Land of Israel, came from the library of R. David Oppenheim of Prague, who lent it to the editor in order to ready it for publication. Included in the Introduction is a lengthy passage inadvertently omitted from Emden's own commentary to the Mishnah, Lechem Shamayim (Wandsbeck, 1733). The Hashmatah, which takes up the better part of a leaf, pertains to the Mishnah, Rosh Hashanah 4:7. (Not mentioned in Y. Raphael's bibliography of Emden's works in Aresheth, Vol. III. pp. 242-3).
