Contains two poems (ff. 51v-53v) composed by Nathan of Gaza (the Prophet of Shabbathai Tzvi). Surprisingly, these poems were still recited in Italy more than 150 years after the Sabbatian debacle. (Nathan died in the year 1680.) The hymn for the Seventh Night of Passover was analyzed by B. Naor, Post-Sabbatian Sabbatianism (1999) Hebrew pagination pp.1-8.
