The Simanim are listed at the beginning of the book, in the style of titles of the Halachot. These are followed by the Halachic rulings.
Following the rulings, appear Hilchot Eretz Yisrael. These are preceded with writings about Chibat HaAretz, love of Eretz Yisrael.

Rabbi Baruch ben Yitzchak of Worms (c. 1140-1211) was one of the Ba’alei Tosafot. He emigrated to Eretz Yisrael in his latter years. His composition, Sefer HaTerumah is recognized as a seminal Halachic work. Many Halachic authorities base their rulings on it.

On the title page, beneath the title appears an intriguing signature: “Shmuel of Kremnitz”. This is possibly Rabbi (Moshe) Aharon Shmuel of Kremnitz, (deceased שע"ו ) Rabbi of the Furth, Eibelstadt and Fulda communities.
A number of handwritten short notations and corrections within the book.
