This text was prepared by William Gross:

The text is without commentary, printed for use by youngsters and school children.
Ornate title page showing prophets on either side, gesturing upward toward the Ten Commandments, which are held aloft by two winged angels. Below, the printer's device. This same frame can be seen on another Vendramin issue in the GFC (B.818, 1690).
The Vendramin Hebrew press was established in 1630 by Giovanni Vendramin, who thereby broke the monopoly enjoyed by the Bragadin family in Venice. The press eventually joined with that of Bragadin, however, and the combined presses continue to operate well into the 18th C.
