Hebrew manuscript on paper written in a precise Aschkenazic hand in square and some cursive Hebrew letters with nekudoth. Title and headings accomplished in red ink, Arabesque design on title

Written for the Parnassim, Baruch Almanzi, Ephraim Sanguinetti and Yitzchak Foa of the Ashkenazic community of Padua. Contains the Piyutim "Arzei Levanon Yafrichu" composed by Samuel Archivolti, author of Arugath HaBosem (Davidson 7565), "Yerushath Nachlah" (Davidson 3865) and "Bo Yavo Nosei Berinah" (unknown to Davidson at the time of the compilation of his Thesaurus, but noted later in his new supplement published in vol. XII-XIII of HUCA no. 487, citing an incomplete Sepher Pizmonim published in the "East" in the 19th century, which he acquired for his private collection). This manuscript shows that it is of Italian rather than Eastern origin
