Notes:
  • Copied in rough hand; partially vocalized.
  • Fol. 1 is from the regular Evening Service, the final Blessing of the Recitation of the Shemaʹ sequence, that links it to the ʹAmidah, that starts אמת ואמונה. The fragment starts with ואמרו כולם מי כמוך.
  • In this version, the paragraph before the Blessing גאל ישראל is more expanded then that of R. Saʻadia's Siddur (identical to the common version), but is similar to that found in the Siddur of Solomon of Sujulmassa (in the published edition, S. Croizer: Seder Rav ʻAmram Gaʾon zal / Shemuel Yerushalmi [ed.]. Jerusalem : S. Hagai, 1995, from ms. Oxford Bodleian 899, pp. 22). The end of the fragment is faded and illegible.
  • Fol. 2 is from the Sabbath Eve Service, the fragment contains the end of the ʻAmidah, followed by a sentence in Arabic, with instructions for the rest of the service for an individual. The remaining bottom two lines of the recto and the whole verso are Mishnah Shabbat Chapter II (במה מדליקין), the fragment reaches Mishnah 2, here too the bottom is faded and illegible.
  • Forms part of: Cairo Genizah Collection.
