During 1798-1810, this book was printed in several similar editions, with variants; see: A. Tauber, Bibliographic Studies, pp. 36-39; Y. Yudlov, Ginzei Yisrael, no. 1140. The chronogram in this copy indicates 1798, as in the first edition (see previous item), however, there are several differences between this copy and the first edition. Among these is the change in the approbations, extending the prohibition to print the book from 15 years to 20 years.
