Summary

This is a manuscript of an instruction manual on Hebrew grammar (diḳduḳ) by R. Samson Bachi, a rabbinical figure in Casale Monferrato (f. iii recto); he was a mohel, and also was known as a student of R. Moshe Zacuto (1625-1697) and a noted kabbalist. The writer was named Refa'el Asher, writing in "Ḳasali" in 1725-1726 (other notes on the folio are crossed through.) Mainly, the manuscript is written in Italian in Hebrew characters, with minimal amounts written in Hebrew and also some words in Italian. Since the work is classified as a notebook, there are corrections at various points of the text.
