Description

Piyyuṭ fragment in an exquisite scribal hand comprising a portion of the Yom ha-Kippur Amidah (per FGP). The FGP description does not reference two faint marginal notes in Latin on the recto stating the year "Anno 1624" and, a second dated note: "Bib Trinitatis 1625." The latter note may be significant for tracing the provenance of the fragment. Potential candidates for Bib[liotheca] Trinitatis in the 1620s include: Trinity College, Cambridge; Trinity Hall, Cambridge, Trinity College Dublin; Trinity College, Oxford; and perhaps other institutions. Possibly non-geniza based on the marginal notes. Requires further research. (MCD with information from Dr. Pranav Jain)
