Notes
- Verse endings denoted by a punctus, strophe endings by a semi-alef; Three poems of the Tsiduḳ ha-din type, sporadically vocalized, probably all are by Joseph ben Abitur; A. (fol. 1) 22 strophes (ז-ר), four verses each, the last of which is from the biblical theme, Ecclesiastes XII 1-7. The refrain starts with סוף; listed among Tsiduḳe ha-din of Abitur, by E. Fleischer, (Yetsirato shel Yosef ben Abitur / Ezra Fleischer (Doctoral dissertation). Jeruslaem : Hebrew University, 1968, p. 546) with a parallel ms. source, Cambridge T-S K8.17, which reached the end of the poem סוער לרגעים וישכח רבה; B. (fol. 2) another poem of this type, in same scheme. The acrostic signature in the final two strophes reads יושף; C. (fol. 2v) On line 22, first line of a third poem of this type, אנוש אני פתע ישבר.
