The sefer includes four title pages: There are two title pages for the Chumash itself adorned with copper engraved illustrations of Moshe, Aharon, the Aron HaBris and Har Sinai. There are separate title pages for the Haftorahs and Megillaos, respectively.

This first edition was published in Amsterdam, 1680.
