Summary:

Manuscript miscellany recording sermon material for funerals, cabalistic remedies, and writing relating to Rosh ha-Shanah, written in a scribal Sephardic semi-cursive script; the Halakhic portion is written in a similar style to Sofer, Yaʻaḳov Ḥayim. Kaf ha-Ḥayim, to Shulḥan ʻarukh Oraḥ Ḥayim 586, and the manuscript likely originated in the sphere of Sofer and Yosef Hayyim (1835-1909, known as Ben Ish ḥai), based upon the script, style, and content.
