Manuscript codex. The date of completion, viz., the 24 of Adar I in the week in which parashat Pekude is read, in the year indicated in the chronogram בר"ן יחד ככבי בקר (Job 38:7; colophon, fol. 469v [cf. fol. 477v]), has been understood to be 252 [i.e. 1492]; however Pekude was not read in that week in 1492, but rather in 250 [i.e. 1490]. Therefore D. Wachtel has suggested that the location of the sign " in בר"ן indicates only the middle and final letters, which provides the figure 250 ("How to Date a Rothschild," Omnia in Eo: Studies on Jewish Books and Libraries in Honour of Adri Offenberg=Studia Rosenthaliana 38-39 [2005–2006] 163-168) Shelfmark: New York, The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary, MS 8892.
