In VOL. II there is also a Hebrew foliation which is at variance with the modem one: 1 - 66 : unnumbered 67- 119: TO-D’p 120-141 : bp>-iUj? 142 - 173 : 3’p-iöp 174 - 230 : unnumbered 231-286 : N0“TDj? 287 - 310 : rrj?(!)“K»j? Contents: Zercfiim : vol. I, l a , Mo°ed: 155», Nashim : 363» Yeshu c ot: vol. II, 174*> (= Neziqin), Toharot: 304». First colophon : vol. I, 371», second colophon : vol. II, 303 b . For an extensive description of this MS see : S. M. Schiller-Szinessy, Occasional notices of Hebrew manuscripts. No. I: Description of the Leyden Ms. of the Palestinian Talmud (Cambridge 1878). His foliation is not found, however, in the MS itself (see hispp.4,9). Seal. 4 (Or. 4721). 313 + 2 fols., 365 x 255 (237 X 135), 20 lines ruled with a plum met; prickings in outer and inner margins. Binding ; vellum on cardboard, 16th cent. NB . Hebr. 259 I (Or. 12637) and Hebr. 259 II (Or. 12638) were found inside this binding. Quires are indicated by catchwords, sometimes ornamented : (16) 15IV(136) IV-2(142)? IV?(150) 19IV(302) 13. - fol. 142 has no catchword; two leaves are probably missing from this quire. - fol. 278 has no catchword but, as a new part of the book begins on fol. 279 (the Pizmonim) a new quire can safely be assumed (see also below). - fol. 312 is loose. Occasional marginal notes by later hands. The piyyutim have been numbered in the margin, trm (fol. 277 b ) by the scribe, from fol. 279» onwards by a later hand («"nb). For details see Contents. When the name Jehuda occurs in the text it is sometimes ornamented (e.g. fol. 306»). From fol. 279 onwards the script looks different. On fol. 314» is written, probably by Scaliger: Scriptus hie liber fuit anno Judaico 5107, Christi 1347. A bold and swiftly written signature in Latin script appears on fols 1» and 314 b . It is illegible. For all other details (colophons, owner’s inscriptions) see Contents. The contents of this famous MS are given in full below. The arrangement is as follows : first the folio no. together with the number of the poem (a number between brackets means that it is written by a later hand); then follow the first words or the first line of the piyyut with a reference to I. Davidson’s Thesaurus of Mediaeval Hebrew Poetry. When Davidson gave little or no information, Zunz’s Literaturgeschichte was consulted and often further characteristics of the poem are given. Headings and relevant notes are also quoted. Variant readings and references to the fixed portions of the liturgy have been omitted.
