This second part was the only one of the three parts to be printed with a title page. Most of the book was printed in Venice, and some in Salonika. The title page indicates that it was printed in Venice, but the author added another 29-page part, which he printed in Salonika. At the beginning of this additional part, the author writes that he sent it to be printed in Venice, but in the meantime he continued to write responsa, despite his weakness, and those he is printing in his own city, Salonika. He adds: "and these two books ... will be joined together."
Rabbinic-drawn owner's signatures in Oriental script appear on the title page and on the following leaf, from the period of the printing: "לי למקנה תורת ה' נאמנה הצעיר מרדכי... זאבי זלה"ה." There are approximately 10 scholarly glosses, also in Oriental script from the time of printing.
