Physical Description:

Extent: 2 fols. : complete

Note:

Hebrew lead phrase is signified by spaces of varying width before and after; left rule is occasionally filled with with a semi-alef.
In the style of the Karaites, the author presents a verse of Bible in Arabic (with lead phrase in Hebrew) translates it, and expounds on it at length, mostly philological notes; fol. 1 contains such notes on IV 20-26.
Fol. 2 contains notes on IV 31-V 2; text does not match the translation-commentary of the Karaite Yapheth ben ʻAli, nor that of Judah ibn Balʻam.
The format and style are comparable to that of the bifolium in Oxford Bodleian Heb. d. 56 (Cowely 2629, 5) on Jeremiah II-III (in a different hand).
