Notes

• Contains five lists. 1. ll. 1-16: The Gaonim of the Yeshivah in Jerusalem (and later in exile), from 1046 to about 1138, that is the dynasty from Solomon ha-Kohen to Matsliaḥ ha-Kohen; 2. l. 17 - l. 9: The Gaonim of the Yeshivah in Fustat; 3. l. 10 - l. 10: The Dynasty of Nagidim of Egypt. The first legible name in this line is that of Mevorakh ben Sa'adia (1094-1111). The list ends with Nethaniel, who served immediately before Maimonides.
