Summary

This is a manuscript of liturgical portions and a piyut written in a large script for use during special occasions, likely in the synagogue. It is incomplete, and only the final quire remains; it originally may have been a large quarto-format manuscript. It opens in the middle of the prayer for the local authorities, in this case a kingdom, recited immediately before Musaf, and it continues into the liturgy for Yom Kippur prayers all meant to be recited before the Torah is returned to the ark. This is followed by the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy, with specific instruction to recite the Attributes with fervor (f. 10v). The manuscript continues with a piyut for the night of Simchat Torah (f. 12r), with some elements from other piyutim (such as "Hitḳabtsu malakhim," f. 13v) and some seen less often (such as "Kamah maʻalot ṭovot," f. 19v).
