General note Includes a short preface found in many versions in other manuscripts.
General note According to Even Shemuel, מדרשי גאולה (Jerusalem 1943), pp. 297 and 299, this work was influenced by earlier midrashim on the same subject and by the responsum on the Redemption attributed to Hai Gaon.
General note According to a note by the scribe preceding the text, this work and the responsum by Hai were copied from the same book belonging to two pupils in the academy of R. Hai גם זה נעתק מאותו ספר שביד שני תלמידי' מן מדרשי רבי' האיי ז"ל.
