[…] He seems to have a specific rival (the same one who was officially registered as insane?) who is addressing the congregation from the pulpit (minbar) accusing the writer of falsehoods.

Dating is likely 16th-17th-century based on the paleography and, crucially, the recto mentions Murādīyya coinage. The latter contextual information helps to estimate the dating as post-1574 CE beceuse the Ottoman Sultan Murad III reigned 1574-1595 CE (the paleography is too late for it to be Murad II).

The opening lines mention "ספינה רגוסאה" (Ragusan ship) and 1,000 peraḥīm–likely Venetian ducats or a similar gold coin. Line 11 probably references a ship captain "הקאפיטאן" which may have a military connotation given that the next line mentions "the war" (המלחמה).
