It appears that this edition was actually printed in Horoshov, since this edition is nearly identical to that which was printed in Horoshov at the same time; the colophon at the end states that the workers are currently in Horoshov. On the switch between Horoshov and Mezritch, see Avraham Ya’ari’s article in Kiryat Ye’arim, vol. 20, pp. 224-225.
