Layout

Written in informal paragraphs with the appearance of typical diary writing. Some entries are divided by a line (for example, f. 5v, 15r) and some without (for example, f. 13v, 14r) and a broken line with flourishes (f. 6r).

Script

Written in a hybrid Italian-Ashkenazic script, appearing informal with mixed usage of cursive and semi-cursive (for example, f. 29r). The pen use also switches in the manuscript between heavy and light ink, and suggests that the writing was produced on the move, as typical of a pinḳas of a mohel.
