Notes
- Probably a draft; It is unclear what the function of this essay is; fragment opens with statement that there are three types (צ'רב) of לקיחה, in obedience of God, in disobedience, and neither; He then proceeds to quote Biblical and Talmudic sources for the first type. Fol. 2 begins with the list of sources of the third type. After just one example, a new article is started about the usage of לקיחה in the context of death; Talmudic sources are quoted in full form, and listed by tractate and chapter (and occasionally by placement in the chapter: ערלה תחילת פרק ב); the Talmudic sources are not necessarily for the purpose of the article, rather to give depth to the context; For example, a large section of Sanhedrin 22a-b is copied because it part of it relates to Ezekiel XLIV 16. This gives the impression that this is a draft of sources for an encyclopedic article; The only named post-Talmudic source is Sa'adia Gaon, whose Tafsir to Exodus is mentioned.
