vowel points and accents. Order of Hagiographa: Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ruth,
Canticles, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, Esther, Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah, and
Chronicles. The haftarot according to Italian rite are marked. Psalms cxiv-cxv
are written as one psalm. On ff. 397v-399v a later Italian hand added the Ma5ariv
service until the middle of the Amidah according to the Italian rite.
The name of the scribe, Moses, was singled out on ff. 18v, 84r, 231r, 292r, 385r
and 396v. On f. 396v a late hand added a spurious colophon dating the
manuscript to 24 Sivan 4600=840 נכתב בשנת ארבעת אלפים ושש מאות לחדש סיון בארבעה
ועשרים יום לחדש בעזרת האל יתברך . Similar spurious colophons bearing the same exact
date are found at the end of MSS Vat. ebr. 4 and 5. Assemani and Kennicott
considered all three manuscripts to be volumes or parts of a single codex. MSS
ebr. 4 and 5 are part of one manuscript or series of manuscripts, but this
manuscript was written later, in a different area and in a different type and
mode of script.

dubious that the manuscript belonged to the Palatine collection. |
