Sheet no. 1
The scroll opens with four prefatory panels including additional texts.
The first panel includes praising the printer's work who notes what is included in the scroll and informs that he made it for children to use. Within the frame of the panel, three quotations from the Book of Esther - 2:5, 10:3, and 8:16 - are printed. The note at the bottom bears the date and the place of the scroll's printing.
The second panel contains Psalm 22.
The Book of Esther in Hebrew is accompanied by additional texts: information from the printer, the prayer Al Ha-Nissim for Purim, Psalm 22, the Seven Remembrances, benedictions recited before and after the Megillah reading, and fragments of the Shoshanat Yaakov liturgical poem.
The Book of Esther starts in the fifth panel and continues until the eighteenth (?) panel.
The text in the fifteenth panel is printed in 11 lines divided into two half-columns.
The sheets in the scroll are glued together.
According to William Gross: "While there is no name of the printer, the use of an elaborate woodcut letter of the type known to be in use by the Weis (sic!) - Meldola printing house indicates the publisher."
Jacob Nunes Vais, on the publishers, was the rabbi of Leghorn (Livorno).
Below the first panel, the date - 1768 - is written in pencil.
No bibliography on the scroll is available.
