Within the wings is a carriage and figures, and in the middle of this scenario is a depiction of Jacob meeting Joseph in Egypt, recalling “And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while” (Genesis 46:29). Within this frame is a detailed text which states that is is on all of Mishnayot that was taken from the writings of R. Hayut. It continues with R. Hayut’s distinguished lineage, mentioning the many prominent rabbis from which he was descended. It further notes that R. Hayut wrote many books, enumerated by his son R. Eliezer, who brought the book to press, in his introduction The title page is followed by approbations from R. Jacob Yosha ben Zevi Hirsch of Cracow and R. Moses ben Aaron of Lvov, and then R. Eliezer’s introduction listing thirteen titles by R. Hayut. The text is in two columns in rabbinic type and encompasses all of Mishnayot, from tractate Berakhot through Ukzin.

R. Isaac ben Jacob Hayut (Chayut) was a Polish rabbi; he died at Skala, near Lemberg, Sept., 1726. R. Hayut was descended from an old Provençal family which first settled in Bohemia, and was the grandson of R. Menahem Manesh Hayyut of Vilna. He became rabbi and av bet din of Skala late in life, and remained there until his death. His Iggeret Kez Hai, describing in a cabalistic manner "terrible things which he had seen in the upper world," was published in Czernowitz in 1862.
