| Dating | The colophon is not dated and mentions Salonica as the place of publication. However Vilensky extrapolates from the fact that Soncino mentions it was "first printed" in Hebrew year 5293 [רצ״ג] that it was, in fact, printed in Hebrew year 5294 [רצ״ד]. If we follow that logic, the place of publication would have been Constantinople, where all of Soncino's other publications of that period were printed. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Colophon text - English | [In the city of Salonica. By the least among Israel Gershom [son of the sage Rabbi] Moshe of Soncino who, in old age, wanted || to bequeath to the seekers of true writing and the clarity of the sacred language true sayings which are / in this precious book authored by [the sage Rabbi] || Kimhi [of blessed memory] including the first part, the entirety of the grammar / followed by the noun portion explicating every difficult word of the Bible / || And while it has been printed by others first, those who browse it shall recognize the difference between sacred and secular books || which manuscripts were hauled from France, Ashkenaz and Italy, and corrected with the eyes of reason which [God be blessed] has endowed us with] |
