Notes
- Prayer endings denoted by a sof pasuḳ plus a semi-alef; From a prayer book. Fol. 1, partially vocalized, is from the beginning of Birkhot ha-shaḥar, including אלהי נשמה, morning blessing 16, and the beginning of לעולם יהא אדם (Midrash Tana deṿe Eliyahu 22) as in Sidur R. ʹAmram Gaʾon; The blessings include some uncommon ones, in addition to the basic 11 (Talmud Berakhot 60b); The first two, מעיר ישנים and מקיץ רדומים are signed for erasure, הנותן לשכוי בינה is tenth,עוטר ישראל is omitted (as is הנותן ליעף כח, consistent with the Oriental custom); After the standard series שלא שמתני (as in Sidur R. Seʹadyah Gaʹon) גוי-עבד-אשה (ibid. Menaḥot 43b) are added added שלא שמתני בהמה and שלא שמתני מאומות העולם אלא מעמך ישראל. Both are encircled for erasure; Fol. 2 is from the common assembled Psalms at the beginning of Pesuḳe de-zimrah (Psalm CV 1-15 and other excerpts).
- Condition: non-consecutive, nearly complete; loss from upper exterior corner of fol. 1.
