Colophon text לכל תכלה ראיתי קץ דפיסת הארבע ועשרים מנוקד ומוטעם || ומדויק תהלה [לאל?] והודיה לשמו הגדול: אף כי לי קוו רשעים || [למברכי?] אברך יי אשר לא נתנני טרף לפניהם: והוא ברחמיו || יסעדני להתחיל ולהשלים שאר ספרי קדש מעולפים ספירים : || ותהי השלמתו ע"י צעיר המחוקקים קטון התלמידי' מבני שונצינו || נודע ביהודה ובישראל שנת זר"ע באחד לחדש אדר [השם יאדרנו?] || וישים בינינו ברכה ושלום אמן:

Colophon text I have seen an end of all perfection printing the twenty and four (i.e. the Bible) precisely with diacritics and cantillation || all glory [to God?] and thanksgiving to his great name: Though the wicked have waited for me to destroy me || Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth: in his great mercy || he hath given me succor to begin and finished the rest of the holy books overlaid with sapphires : || It was completed by the youngest of the incisors the least among the stud[ents] of the sons of Soncino || known throughout Judah and Israel in the year z.r.‘a [r.‘a.z, i.e. 5277] on the first day of the month of Adar [may God make him great?] || and may he put peace and blessing between us amen:
