Description

Bifolio of prayers or poetry in Hebrew. There are interesting Arabic annotations in two different hands, including pious formulae at the bottom of recto and captions such as "for banishing mice" or "for banishing rats" accompanying the Hebrew text blocks, suggesting that they were used for magical purposes.
