A Rare Post Incunabula. with Signatures and a Gloss.

Rabbi Natan, who was a leading Rav of Rome and headed one of its glorious yeshivas, explains in his introduction why he wrote the book:
"וְהֵעִירִי אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ הַכֹּל, כָּל יוֹצֵר פַּחְרָא, לְסַדֵּר סֵפֶר הֶעָרוּךְ לְכָל רוֹכְבֵי צְחוֹרָה, תֵּיבוֹת הַקָּשׁוֹת מִתּוֹרָה שֶׁבְּעַל פֶּה לְחַבְּרָהּ, כָּל אֲשֶׁר יְבַקְּשֶׁנָּה יִמְצָאֶנָּה בִּמְהֵרָה לְשִׁבְרָהּ, בְּלִי עִצָּבוֹן וְעָמָל בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁהִיא מֻבְחָרָה".
Throughout the book, several handwritten owner's signatures "Avraham Cohen" and on the last page, a gloss by him.
