Colophon: “It is finished and completed. Praise be to God, the Eternal One, who knows what is revealed and what is concealed. בר״צ.

And it was written by me, Abraham א״נ, in the year [indicated by the chronogram] ‘I will sing to my God while I live’ (אזמרה לאלהי בעודי). And I wrote it for Rabbi Caleb, son of the honoured Rabbi Elijah of Apodolo. May the Lord grant him, and his descendants and their descendants, the merit of studying it, as it is written: ‘for them, their descendants, and their descendants’ descendants’ (לי״מ וז״ז), as אמר ימו״ע.” (189a)
