The title page reads:

According to the title page, the scribe, Yehi’el ben David ben Porat writes that he started copying this book on Tuesday, first day of the month Kislev 5337 [= 2-11-1576], and that he copied from a book written by the hand of Refa’el Maccabi Finzi son of the aforementioned Ya’akov Yisra’el Maccabi Finzi.
