Present copy is an early edition of this book which was printed in a number of editions, for some communities in Spain, for the Shabbats between Pesach and Shavuot, who would read Shir HaShirim and Pirkei Avot then.
Seemingly this is the First Edition that printed Shir HaShirim & Tractate Avot together, with Spanish & Ladino translations. (The Tractate Avot was published once before in 1644, recorded by Kayserling in 1890, today only a single copy exists in a Swedish library)
Translation of Shir HaShirim was done by Moses Laniado, translation of Tractate Avot is attributed to Moses Belmonte.
