Notes

• Text breaks denoted by a sof pasuḳ plus a space; Fragments from a treatise on prayer including much Talmudic citations. The first fol. is similar in style to the general preface of the Judeo-Arabic monographs of R. Saʹadia Gaon and Samuel ben Ḥofni Gaon; It deals with the general principle and value of the minyan, based on Sanhedrin 2a and Berakhot 8a. Fol. 2 is more legalistic, methodically describing the variant conditions (שרט) that effect the law of repeating the 'Amidah after mistaken omission, based on Berakhot 29b; Among the known Gaonic monographs, the content here is most fitting to Samuel ben Ḥofni Gaon's Kitab al-ʹimma, a title found in a booklist published by Schechter: Saadyana / S. Schechter {ed.]. Cambridge : Deighton and Bell, 1903, p. 54, or perhaps the Treatise on prayer compsed by Samuels son Israel (see below, 168).
