Notes
- These are two leaves extracted from a codex of Proverbs, and each leaf contains a separate chapter; extant is Proverbs VI:1, beginning ערבת לרעך and finishing the folio side with קצין ומשל (first word of verse 8, תכין, missing from leaf) and continuing בחוץ לחמה until 15, יב[א] אידו ופתע ישבע (f. 1r-v); second leaf begins with X:14, ופי אויל מחתה קרובה, finishing the side with 21, ואוילים בחסר לב ימות[ו], continuing with ברכת until verse 29, ומחיתה לפועלי און (f. 2r-v). Dots above incorrect words (f. 1r), possibly indicating this was from a copybook. Title supplied by cataloger. Written in Egypt or possibly Palestine, between the last half of the 11th century and the 12th century.
