Footnotes in Rashi script of Yiddish-Daitsh translations of Hebrew words above. Volume ends in appendix, with running title 'Motsa ha-Shorashim. General Note Censor imprint : Carolus, i.e. Karl Fischer of Prague, who had the title Censor-in-Hebraicis. Fischer was an apostate Jew living in Prague; he worked as a censor of Hebrew and Yiddish texts, as well as a librarian to the Imperial-Royal-Concilliator. While he censored a large number of books, this volume was brought to print by a member of the Fleckeles family and a close relative of Ele'azar ben David Fleckeles (1754-1826), chief Rabbi of Prague. I mention this name because Fischer and Fleckeles had an extensive correspondence; see Spitz, Yom-Tov (Jonas), Zikhron Elazar (Prague : Landau, 1827), pp. 41-43. CM Citation/Ref.
