Notes:
Fol. 1 starts with the end of Seliḥot in the standard structure based on biblical verses linked ככתוב. Followed by a litany titled לא לנו יי׳ / למה יאמרו הגוים (Psalms CXV 1/2) the latter of which also serves as the refrain of the litany.
The verses are arranged א-ת and continues. The next refrain of the next littany is אלהינו שבשמים (Psalms ibid.). This sequence also appears in Mosseri VIII 206; ENA 2159, 52; Cambridge TS NS 110. 105 ; TS H5. 89 ; Oxford Bodleian 2718, 6, although there are some variants in the contents of the verses.
Fol. 2 contains a litany with an alternating refrain: את[א]נו על שמך \ יי׳ עשה למען שמך. The verses are arranged א-ת. Followed by another litany, whose refrain alternates: מה נאמר לפניך \ ומה נספר לפניך. This sequence also appears in Cambridge TS NS 151.44 and Oxford Bodleian 2715, 9, although there are some variants in the contents of the verses.
