This manuscript contains a collection of over 70 religious and secular texts in Hebrew, including a haggadah, accompanied by glosses and commentaries. With 408 illuminated folios, this is the most richly ornamented Hebrew manuscript. The miniatures stem from a workshop of some significance, either in or around Ferrara, recalling certain features of the art of Taddeo Crivelli.
The opulently illustrated miniature with Hebrew text on folio 64v depicts Job with his seven sons and three daughters. He sits enthroned in a Renaissance palace.
