https://makor.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01JTS_INST/ne9ig6/alma990000691750107706 Fabrizio Quaglia transcribes and elaborates the name of the censor above Jaghel: "Ferr.[ant]e Mincio Reu.[iso]re". He could be a convert from Mantua, lived in the first half 17c. who took the name of the river that crosses it as his surname, and perhaps Ferrante as his given name, possibly after a godfather named Ferrante, as was customary among neophytes. The suggestion that “Mincio” derives from the Hebrew surname “Minṣ” (Minz) is even less probable, as converted Jews did not retain immediately recognisable traces of their original identity. I found other five (or six) signatures of him on different mss. and books: one of them is here https://www.nli.org.il/en/discover/manuscripts/hebrew-manuscripts/viewerpage?vid=MANUSCRIPTS#d=[[PNX_MANUSCRIPTS990001301500205171-1,FL43235394]]. Can you help identify him?- Percent complete
