26 long lines ruled in hardpoint, with most lines faint to invisible; for poetic works, two columns are used with each stanza centered with each refrain written in the center of the column. Quarto format.

Script

Written in a Provençal semi-cursive script with vowels; headings written in a large bold Ashkenazic cursive likely in the hand of ʻImanuʼel ben Gad de Milhaud. This scribe was prolific in creation of manuscripts for prayers in the customs of French communities, and he was active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries; his style is distinctive by elements such as layout, title and stanza support, and script.
