Notes:
  • Verse endings are denoted by a punctus.
  • Fol. 1r 1: A. commences with 13th line of Judah ha-Levi's התרדוף נערות אחר חמשים (Davidson, Thesaurus of Medieval Hebrew poetry, 1267ה; in the Diṿan published by Brody, Berlin, Ḥevrat Meḳitse nirdamim, 1910, vol. II, no. 5, pp. 160-163). This reaches the middle of the verso.
  • Fol. 1r 13-1v 22: B. Heading ולה איצׄא אלריח אלגרביה, a complete copy of ha-Levi's Song to the West Wind זה רוחך צד מערב (TMHP 1267ז; Brody, ibid, no. 12 pp. 171-172). Followed by the headline of the next poem ולה איצׄא פי מתל דלך, which probably was one of his other poems composed at sea en-route to Erets Israel (Brody, ibid. 167-179). This is missing, in the lacuna that follows.
  • Fol. 2r 1: C. commences with the third line of ליבי עמוד כי מי בסוד (TMHP 404ל; Brody, ibid, no. 8 pp. 218-220).
  • Fol. 2r 20: D. Heading ולה איצׄא, the short poem ביום טוב לבך שמן ודשן (TMHP 487ב; Brody, ibid, no. 67 pp. 292).
  • Fol. 2v 1-21: E. ועד לה בעץׄ אכואנה. The beginning of ha-Levi's answer on his desire to travel to Erets Israel, דבריך במור עובר (TMHP 63ד; Brody, ibid, no. 6 pp. 164-166). This folio reaches line 42.
