Yam shel Shlomo [novellae to Tractate Chulin].
Second edition. Title within elaborate decorative pillars. ff. (5), 4-10, 164. Mispaginated, though complete. Slight worming and staining, marginal repairs to final several leaves with a few words in facsimile. Modern calf. Folio. Vinograd, Cracow 446.
Menachem Nachum Meisels, Cracow: 1646.
A bibliographic curiosity is the fact that the contents of "f. 120v." have been duplicated on the facing page "141r." except that the latter contains a line and a half missing in the former, from "shem shamayim le-vatalah" until "she'ein zo netilah kol ikar." The explanation for this curiosity is rather obvious. Realizing the omission of these lines, the printer then proceeded to reprint the entire page supplying the missing text.
