- Summary:
- This is a manuscript of a commentary in Judeo-Arabic explaining the Pentateuch. It is incomplete; it is missing the first three parshiyot and begins in parashat Ṿa-yera, and finishes at the beginning of parashat Haʼazinu. It is written in long lines on commercial lined paper with the vertical bounding lines ruled in lead. It is written with a cursive Eastern script similar to contemporary Syrian Hebrew manuscripts. In the margins, there are notes indicating where the portions of the Parashah are in the text. The folios are very brittle. Bound in contemporary boards with yellowed endpapers, likely original.
