Quinions.

Sephardic semi-cursive script.
Writing - Note:
This manuscript was written by the same scribe who copied Ibn Ezra ̓s commentaries on Psalms and Scrolls in MS Vat. ebr. 82. The scribe singled out his name, Samuel, in MS ebr. 82 (ff. 34r, 45r). The two manuscripts share the same codicological and scribal features but differ in the order of the parchment sides within the quires; while the quires in this manuscript begin with the hair side, those of Vat.ebr.82 begin with the flesh side. It seems, then, that each manuscript constitutes a separate codex.
