Sefer Ashlei Ravrevei, Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah. Furth, [1759]. Many (over 100) learned glosses in Ashkenazic handwriting [ca. 18th-19th centuries]. Many of the glosses are trimmed, and some are damaged and faded. The author of the glosses is unknown. The content of the glosses suggests that he had a connection to the city of Prague. He makes several mentions of the customs of Prague, and quotes R. Yechezkel Landau, the rabbi of Prague. He often quotes and discusses R. Landau's Sefer Creiti U'Pleiti. In one gloss (page 56b) he quotes a note written in Creiti U'Pleiti from the Prague synagogue. Various ownership signatures.
