General note
| On f. 86r Kalkish recounts a vision he experienced on the banks of the great river in the town of Trapezitsa על יד הנהר הגדול בעיר טרפזיצא. Trapezitsa is the name of a village in northern Greece, but it is possible that the author was referring to the Trapezitsa mountain range in Greece or Bulgaria. |
