Recto: micrography of a large Magen David inside a frame, with wishes for a bride and a groom. In the left margin, a line of Arabic is written that mentions Ibn al-Raʾīs al-Wā[…]rī and Bint al-…, possibly referring to the groom and the bride in question. Verso: an excerpt from the introduction of Judah b. David Hayyūj’s Book on the Weak and Geminative Verbs, explaining the notions of vocalised and unvocalised consonants and mentioning the names of the Hebrew vowels, with slight deviations from the published text. A note on the recto of the stub, written transversely to the text on verso, identifies Hayyūj as the author of three discourses: on verbs with the first weak radical, on verbs with the second weak radical, and on verbs with the third weak radical. At the bottom of verso there are pen trials in Arabic script, where certain short words and letter combinations are repeated a number of times.Condition: Holes, rubbedLayout: various lines + marginalia (recto); 9 lines + jottings (verso)
