Notes
- Text breaks are signified by a sof pasuḳ; A Judeo-Arabic treatise dealing with the functions of the sun and moon in calendation. Much philological detail is given on the terms אור, אורה, מאור citing biblical sources. The verses in Genesis I 14-19 seem to be the subject; The article in R. Sa'adia Gaon's Commentary (Perushe Rav Seʻadyah Gaʾon li-Vereshit / Moshe Zucker [ed.]. New York : JTS, 1984, p. 38) appears to be along similar lines, and is missing in the middle; This issue, related to this biblical passage, was a central point of polemic contention between the Rabbanites and Karaites, as Japheth ben 'Ali wrote an extensive article in his Tafsir on Genesis on this topic (ms. Petersburg, Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, B 51, pp. 29-49).
