Notes
- Text breaks dentoted by a punctus; Fol. 1 contains the last 5 strophes of a poem, whose refrain is [המהולל בפי כל נש[מה. Monorhymed –מה.Two verses per strophe (except for the last one which has one verse); The remnant of the acrostic reads: נ]סי בן ברכיה] (=[Ni]ssi al-Nahrwani), so presumably only the first verse is missing here; After three lines on the verso the writing ends, the rest of the page is blank; Fol. 2 is from the end of the Mussaf service for Shavuot, in which only the part of the fourth blessing that is specific to Shavuot is recorded; At the end of the text is an instruction in Judeo-Arabic to insert the 'Azharah ראשית לעמך נתת; The poetic text (fol. 1) is centered. In the prose folio (fol. 2), the left rule is justified by aligning the exceeding word between the lines.
- Condition: complete, non-consecutive; fol 2v blank.
