General note Includes mainly "piyyutim" for Rosh ha-Shanah and Yom Kippur, few of the permanent liturgies and none of the Torah readings. With vowel points.
General note The liturgies are according to a Catalonian rite. Quite frequently, "piyyutim" according to the rite of Barcelona are provided (ff. 91r, 93r, 128v, 131r, 133r, 150v, 169r, 177v, 178v) and once both the rites of Barcelona and the nearby community of Villafranca del Panades are mentioned: זהו סדור ברצלונה ובוילא פרנקא מתחילין אברך את ה' ... (f. 68v).
General note Includes "azharot" for the Sabbaths preceding each of these holy days. On f. 1v אלהים נצב בעדת אל with the "pizmon" אסיר תקוה לקץ ימין both by Pinḥas b. Joseph ha-Levi for the Sabbath preceding Rosh ha-Shanah and on f. 43r אדברה ברשיון מביני with the "pizmon" ירב גדולתי[!] יוצרי רצונך both by Isaac b. Samuel ha-Levi for the Sabbath preceding Yom Kippur. On these "azharot" cf. Y.S. Spiegel, רבי פנחס הלוי ואזהרותיו לשבת שלפני ראש השנה "Studies in Memory of R. Yitzhak Nissim", v (Jerusalem 1985), pp. 71-83.
General note There are three "reshuyyot" preceding the "yoẓerot" for Rosh ha-Shanah, the last of which is אשחרך שחר יום אתחנן בעד קהלי by Isaac b. פשאד (f. 16v, ff. 49r-51v). The yoẓer for this day is יום זה ארוממך צור עון כובש by the same "paytan" (ff. 53r-54r) and the "zulat" is שב מן הפסילים by Solomon b. Isaac Gerondi (ff. 56r-57v).
General note There are two "kerovot" for the morning service of the second day of Rosh ha-Shanah אדר היקר העיר מזבולו by Joseph b. Judah Aknin (ff. 25v-26r) and וארץ אתנפל לפני דר גבוהי by Isaac b. Judah Gerondi (ff. 33r-35r). The first "kerovah" includes more parts than the second, though the additions were not made by the author himself. Among the "piyyutim" in this piece is the "pizmon" מלאכי צבא מעלה בקול נעים יזמרו בקול by Moses b. Shabbetai (f. 31r-v). At the end of the second "kerovah" the "mustajab" מראש מקדמי עולמים attributed to Moses b. Naḥman לר"ם ב"ן ז"ל (ff. 41r-42v).
General note Among the "seliḥot" for the eve of Yom Kippur מנום אנחה העיר הוזה by Moses ibn Ezra (ff. 60v-61r) and זבחי אלהים אשר לא תבזה by Zerahiah ha-Levi Gerondi (f. 61r-v).
General note Among the "piyyutim" for "yoẓer" for Yom Kippur there are two "zulatot": יקר חסדך אלהים משכלי ארוממנו by Isaac b. Zerahiah ha-Levi Gerondi (ff. 83v-85v) followed by אחלה פניך באימתה with the "kheruj" אמרים עמכם קחו by Abraham ibn Ezra following the custom of Barcelona according to the heading זולת אחר למנהג ברצלונה (ff. 85v-86v). וארץ אקוד ואשתחוה בפחד by Abraham ibn Ezra is among the "piyyutim" for the "kedushta" for the morning service of Yom Kippur (ff. 87r-89r) as well as the "pizmonim" יענה כבוד אבות לבן מחטא מזוהם (f. 91r-v) and חרדים לבית תפלתם (f. 93r-v) by Moses ibn Ezra. The "Seder Avodah for Musaf" of Yom Kippur is אל אל אשא דעי by Isaac ibn Ghayyat (ff. 151v-192v) preceded by the "reshut" ארוממך חזקי וחלקי by Solomon ibn Gabirol.
General note On establishing the rite of this liturgy cf. A. Dodi, מחזורי קטלוניה המנוקדים - בעיות המחקר שבכתבי יד מתקופת ספרד הנוצרית "KS", lxiv (1992/3), p. 1068, note 7.
