Notes

• Verse endings are signified by a punctus, strophe endings by a sof pasuḳ and paragraph break; Fol. 1 recto and the upper third of the verso: under the heading אחרת לחכם a dirge of six strophes, four rhymed verses each (except for the final strophe which has 6). Apparently not intended for any specific sage; Starts: האספו אנשי אמת. This dirge appears in Cambridge T-S K25.15 where it is attributed (in the heading) toישועה הכהן בן יוסף הדיין. This poem was published by Sarah Cohen, Tarbits v. 69 (2000, p.449-460) on p. 460, from a different fragment: JTSA ENA 2165; The remainder of the fragment, under the heading אחרת, contains the first eight strophes of a Eulogy poem בן אדם אל, probably intended for a Rosh Yeshivah in Erets Israel; Four rhyming verses each, the first starts בן אדם followed by the acrostic א-ת at the head of each verse (the fragment reaches verse ס).
