Summary:

Manuscript of the Yemenite-Baladi rite, with the commentary of ʻEts ḥayim by Yaḥyā Ṣaliḥ, possibly written as a [scribal] master copy, likely preceding the printing of the Yemenite Tiklāl with this commentary in Jerusalem, 1894. Written in a Yemenite-Sephardic semicursive script (commentary), with some portions written in a Yemenite square script (such as the Psalms for the eve of Purim, f.26r-34r); the Baladi rite was practiced mostly in the Ṣanʻāʼ environs in Yemen.
