Notes:

28 complete paper fols., consecutive except for one missing (8/9).

Catchwords appear at end of each fascicle (and fols. 1-3 as well); paragraph endings are denoted with three dots plus 3-5 spaces.

Of the first fascicle, the last eight fols. are extant. They contain the text from the end of Hilkhot tefillah, XIII 14 אילו to the end of the section (XIV 12), signed: בריך רחמנא דסייען, and followed by the headline of the following section הלכות תפלין ומזוזה וספר תורה.

The first fol. of the next fascicle is missing. The remaining 10 fols. resume at Hilkhot tefillin I 6 עורות הן to the end of chapter III, including the three illustrations there. The following fascicle, numbered ל is complete, containing 10 fols., ending at the end of chapter six.

The catchword there infers that the next headline is not the name הלכות ספר תורה, rather merely the number פרק שביעי. Nor is הלכות נשיאת כפים (Tefillah XIV-XV) designated a distinct headline. The text is divided into un-numbered paragraphs.

If these are fascicles 28-30, the codex must have started at the beginning of Mishneh Torah, probably including the introduction.

A fol. from the same ms. is found in Cambridge TS F7.49, containing Tefillah XIII 4-8. One folio is missing between it and the beginning of our fragment, so it is probably the first folio of fascicle 28, which must have contained 10 folios.

The last 8 fols. of fascicle 27 are Oxford Bodleian Heb. d.32 fols. 39-46 (Cowely 2794, G1), which starts in chapter XI. Five consecutive damaged folios from chapter VII are in Cambridge TS NS 252.39 and 34.

A single fol. from chapter IV is in Paris, Mosseri V 280. Eight folios from Hilkhot berakhot chapters 8-10 are in Oxford Bodleian Heb. d. 81 fols. 28-35.
