Summary:

Leaf from a 13th century Ashkenazic Maḥzor, with text surviving at the later portions of the Passover Liturgy; ten lines on the recto survive from the קדושתא of the chazzan's repetition of Shaḥarit in the general German rite (the סלוק beginning חסדי יהוה אזכיר תהלות יהוה by Simeon bar Isaac bar Abun of Mainz) surviving with [ויהללוך] בהדרת קודש באראלי חשמלי קודש (this rite is missing וישתחוו בהר הקודש which appears in most manuscripts; see Mahzor Pesah ... ed. Yonah Frenkel (Jerusalem: Koren, 1993, p. 513), and continues until the conclusion and segue to Kedushah. The text then features the Aramaic piyut introducing the Torah portion (the Song of the Sea) by Me'ir ben Isaac of Worms beginning אילו פומי נימי בני נשא רשמי.
