Summary:

This is a manuscript of the Yemenite Seliḥot, in a codex assembled into a composite manuscript from three 18th century manuscript fascicles; the first fascicle (f. 1r-6v) and the third (f. 11r-19v) are likely contemporary. Piyutim include Ana kaʼav zedoni ti-meḥehu (f. 5v) and le-Mitṿadeh ḥaṭaʼotaṿ (f. 7r) by Moses ibn Ezra, Be-zakhri ʻal mishkavi by Judah ibn Bal'am (f. 13v), and the anonymous Arʼele meromim (f. 17v).
