Description
General note The colophon, now bound at the end of the manuscript, refers only to those liturgies copied from the beginning until f. 145. It is possible that the leaf on which the colophon was written was detached and bound at the end. Indeed, a leaf is missing at the end of the first part of the manuscript after f. 145 and the colophon is written on one of three loose leaves bound at the end. The quires of the second part of the manuscript on which the prayers for Rosh ha-Shanah etc. were written are numbered 1-17, unlike those of the first part that are not numbered. Nevertheless, there is no reason to doubt that the scribe, Judah b. Solomon, copied the second part as well.
General note On f. 1r an incomplete entry describing an earthquake in or near Camerino: עוד הפליאו לעשות הרעשים הנז' כי הפילו בתים רבים ... עד כי נתקבצו יותר מחמש מאות פועלים מהכרכים ומהכפרים הנז' אנשים ונשים וטף ובאו פה בעיר קמירינו מלובשים לבנים ... עם סוסיהם ... טעונים בר ולחם ומזון ויין להחזיק יד עני ואביון ... וימשכו הרעשים ההם מחדש ניסן עד כל חודש אלול.
