In B some text is lost by the cutting of the margins. Most pages have the ligature for n"S?3 in the top left hand margin. Fols. 180-184 (= 16)) are of a diff. kind of paper. The leaves were formerly larger, but the folding inwards of the lower margins has prevented loss of text when the volu me was cut for binding. On fol. l a two short poems: p’jp tb px *wk •p’b» bx “pia 1 ’ (see Steinschn., p. 226) and: rniairt ib >br bs xnab -w ’nb •bt nna® na MS III: Fol. 189 was formerly counted twice. This has been corrected, with the result that each of the following leaves now has two numbers, the lower being the correct one; the upper number is the one used by Steinschneider. Warn. 53 (Or. 4791). 215 X 140 (144 X 95), ca. 20/25 lines. Warn. 54 (Or. 4792). 3 + 185 + 2 fols., 197 X 145 (158 X 110), 30 lines. Between fols. 68-69 and between fols. 12+125 half a blank leaf occurs which is not numbered. Fols. 80-82 are bound in upside down. Warn. 55 (Or. 4793). 197 X 140 MS I: (159 X 90), 29 lines; MS II: (153 X 95), 25 lines. Fols. 216-295 (MS II) have a Hebrew foliation in the same hand as the running titles, which is probably the scribe’s : p _ np. Warn. 56 (Or. 4794). 187 X 144 (135 X 92), 27 lines (MS I). MS II is no unity: 7) (175 X 110), 28 lines. 8) (140 X 88), 23 lines. 9) Text of outer and lower margins cut off, 24 lines. 10) Size of the original written space approximately : 140 X 110. Originally 19 lines of text; much writing in the margins in an inexpert hand which also continued the text on fol. 226 a . Margins cut off with loss of text. 11) (approximately : 165 x 110), 31 lines. 12) (175 X 108), 28 lines. 13) Part of the text in lower and outer margins cut off. Now 25 lines of text. 14) 29 lines of text but heading and lower line(s) cut off. 15) (160 X 106), 23 lines. 16) (165 X 105), 26 lines. 17) (153 X 112), 23 lines. Interrupted. 18) (153 x 112), 23 lines. Written by the same hand as preceding. 19) (approximately : 140 x 88), 25 lines. Warn. 58 (Or. 4796). 1 + 113 fols., 155 x 110 (to fol. 26 a the text almost fills the whole page. If there is any margin left, it is mostly filled with notes. The same holds good for many other parts of the MS, especially the last part. Fol. 27 a : 115 x 80; fol. 61 a : 130 x 80), about 28/45 lines.
