In the author's introduction to the book, Rabbi Eliezer Ashkenazi alludes to his travels from Egypt and to his temporary residence on the Island of Famagusta, and about his salvation. "The king elevated His Majesty Don Yosef Nasi and appointed him to the high position of…Duke and Minister". Ownership inscription on title page: "…Refael Rovigo".
