Kol Bo – Rimini – Printed by Gershom Soncino – Signature of Rabbi Moshe Supino
Kol Bo, laws and customs. Rimini (Italy): Gershom Soncino, [ca. 1520]. Second edition. (This edition was presumably printed based on a manuscript, and is not dependent on the first edition printed in Italy, ca. 1490).
Signature (slightly faded) on the title page: "Moshe son of R. Yisrael Supino" (the only person known to us by the name of Moshe Supino was a disciple of the Arizal, who served as his Shochet, following the kavanot the Arizal had instructed him. Taamei HaMitzvot by R. Chaim Vital relates that a goat once came to the Arizal on a Thursday, and after speaking to it, the Arizal commanded to go purchase it and have it slaughtered by R. Moshe Supino in honor of Shabbat. R. Chaim Vital then asked his teacher what sin this soul had committed to require reincarnation as a goat).
Several glosses, as well as many handwritten references and marks. Censor deletions to one leaf.

Regarding year of printing, see article by A.M. Habermann, The Soncino Printers, in his book Perakim BeToldot HaMadpisim HaIvriim, Jerusalem 1978, p. 73, no. 79 (in his opinion the book was printed ca. 1525-1526).
