Note:

Title in bold square characters; text, with writing exercises, mostly in a smaller, cursive hand.
Either title page(!), or the fly leaf from a monograph on ritual slaughter, possibly a draft copy, that was discarded and served as scrap paper; original writing is just the title, and covers only the upper third of one side.
The title: הלכת שחיטה כ.\ תצניף כג"ק מרנו ורבינ[ו.]\ שמואל הדיין המשכי[ל.]\ זצ"ל.
The title may be referring to a שלמה הלוי בר שמואל הדיין המשכיל, who is the scribe of a manuscript codex of Maimonides' Commentary on the Mishnah (Oxford Bodleian 394/399) dated 1223, and a codex of Mishneh Torah, Book of Mishpatim (ms. Escorial G III 2).
A collection of responsa copied by הדיין המשכיל זצ״ל appears in a booklist in Oxford Bodleian Heb. d. 76 fol. 53.
