Notes
- Written in the same format as ENA 326, in which each verse starts a new line, and the remainder of the verse in the second line is centered; exceeding words aligned above the line; sporadic vocalization. The folio contains verses 6-12 (=end) of a Love Song that starts עזבתני ועלה לשחקים, (Davidson, Thesaurus of Medieval Hebrew poetry, 303ע), in the anthology of Ibn Gabirol's secular poems published by D. Yarden: Shire ha-ḥol / Dov Yarden ed.. Jerusalem, 1975, p. 62-63. The Judeo-Arabic heading that attributes the following poem to Ibn Gabirol on the death of his father, על השחקים נפשך רוכבת (Davidson, TMHP 491ע), in Yarden, ibid. pp. 286-287. Here it starts עלי שחקים. The folio ends after 11 (out of 12) verses. The sequence of these two poems is also found in Cambridge T-S 16.381 and in New York JTSA ENA 326, 12-13.
