  • -  Shevet Yehudah, history of persecutions of the Jews by Solomon ibn Verga. Copied from the Amsterdam 1709 edition, including the title page. The scribe prepared a volume of 164 ff., complete with foliation, but ceased copying on f. 57r (=f. 28a of the edition). In the original edition the chronogram is למשפטי but in the manuscript it is למשופטי which must be an error unless his intention was to indicate that he made the copy in 1715, the numerical value of his chronogram.
