Script: Written in a French-Italian square script, all vocalized; headers written in Ashkenazic cursive in the hand of ʻImanuʼel ben Gad de Milhaud. This scribe was prolific in creation of manuscripts for prayers in the customs of French communities, and he was active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

Binding: Brown sheepskin binding, almost completely intact, likely the original binding.

Watermarks: "Trevoie" along the gutter (examples, f. 161, f. 149) with a bell below it (example f. 129).
