Description

Recto: draft of a lengthy panegyric for Yehuda b. Menashshe he-Ḥasid, with his name in acrostic. The poet continues writing what may be a draft of a letter on verso, after which he starts to rework the first few lines of his poem a second time. Verso also contains a legal deed written by Efrayim b. Shemarya (who also signs), and signed by Yaʿīsh b. Avraham ha-Levi, Yeshuʿa b. Avraham ha-Kohen, Naḥum b. Yeshuʿa ha-Kohen, Avraham b. Mevasser, and the cantor Yefet b. David the cantor. Dating: ca. 1007–1055 CE, based on the years when Efrayim b. Shemarya was active. (Information from CUDL.)
