This manuscript contains the laws of Tereiphoth as per the custom of Fez, based on the Halachic opinions of Rambam and Tur. Throughout the manuscript the halachic rulings of many North African rabbinic scholars are cited. Also included are laws pertaining to section Orach Chaim, from chap. 581 until the end. The last portion of this manuscript pertains to the laws of taking out the Torah scroll, extracted from the Chida’s “LeDavid Emeth” (Livorno 1786). R. Maimon Berdugo (1767-1824) served as rabbi in Meknes, northern Morocco. See Malchei Rabanan, p. 81.
