Ashlei Ravrevei, Shulchan Aruch Yoreh De'ah, with the Shach and Taz commentaries, and Be'er HaGola. Amsterdam, [1756].
Additional engraved title page.
Many signatures and ownership inscriptions on the title pages and front endpaper, including signatures of members of the Eybeschütz family in Copenhagen: "Yochanan son of R. A. Eybeschütz of Copenhagen", "Jacob Eybeschütz", "Moshe son of R. Katriel Segal", "Shlomo Zalman son of R. Tebele Dayan of Lissa", "G-d granted me this, Binyamin Benush son of the late R. Baruch Katz".
The book contains many dozens of scholarly glosses, in neat Ashkenazic script (presumably written by R. Binyamin Benush Katz, whose signature appears on the title page. His identity is not known to us).
