General note With vowel points and accents
General note The division of the Psalms is different from that of the editions and other manuscripts.
General note The beginning of the manuscript until near the end of Psalm x (no. ix in the manuscript) is missing and was completed by a later Italian hand on ff. 1-8.
General note The scribe erred and numerated two consecutive psalms ה [=v] and the successive Psalms vi, vii, etc. Psalm xxxi (xxx in the manuscript) was omitted and completed in the margins. Many times two consecutive psalms were copied together without a break and assigned a single number. Thus, Psalms lxx and lxxi were copied together and numbered סח [=lxviii]. Likewise, Psalms xcii-xcix were divided into four units (numbered צא to צג), Psalms ci and cii were copied together (numbered צה) as were Psalms cxvi:1-cxviii:4 (קט). Psalm lviii was divided into two (verses 1-37 numbered עה and 38-72 numbered עו). Psalm cxviii was divided into two, the first four verses joined to Psalms cxvi-cxvii and verses 5-25 written as a separate Psalm numbered קי. The last Psalm in the manuscript bears the number קמב [= number 142].
General note The owner, Giannozzo Manetti, also numbered the first 50 psalms (i-xlix in the masoretic division) in Arabic numerals.
General note The upper and lower margins were ruled for copying the Masorah Magna, which was not written.
