Giorgio di Cavali, (Riva di Trento -) Venice : [1562]-1567.

Meir Arama (1460-1545) a native of Saragossa, fled the Expulsion to Naples and eventually sunk roots in Salonika, where he preached to the emigré Aragonian Community. He was the son of the “Ba’al Ha’Akeidah.”The printing of this edition commenced in Riva di Trento in 1562, however production was interrupted and eventually removed to Venice for completion. There, a new title-page was issued noting Venice as being the place of publication, although non-uniform fonts completed the volume (viz. ff. 5-44 and 49-64). See Tauber & Sonne, Kiryat Sepher vol. VI pp. 455-56 and vol. VII pp. 168-6.
