Incompletess of manuscrip fragment: The modern ink foliation of the four leaves of MS Roth 51/3 as folios 49–50 and 55–56 indicates that the item was probably part of a larger manuscript codex (maybe its last quire?). Moreover, it seems likely that MS Roth 51/3 itself is incomplete and wants two sheets in its middle because of the interrupted foliation in ink as well as the fact the fact that the original catchword on folio 50v, i.e. 2v, is pasted over with another one which fits the beginning of the text on folio 55r, i.e. 2v. Against this assumption stands the prayer's text which, contrary to the codicological indications, seems to be complete and not wanting up to 8 pages of content.

State of text: Overall rather well preserved thick white paper.

Bibliographical note: Roth, “Catalogue”, in Alexander Marx: Jubilee Volume, vol. 1 (New York, 1950), no.51 (iii). National Library of Israel (NLI), Online Catalogue, system-no. 000185643. The NLI’s description is based on the microfilm of MS Roth 51,i–viii made on behalf of the Institute of Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts of the NLI during the 1960s. The microfilm can now be downloaded in a digitised form from the NLI-webpage. The microfilm makes the eight different manuscripts defined as MS Roth 51,i–viii appear to be one codex, i.e., ḳovets, and subsequently the NLI catalogue treats them as such (see record-no 000185639). This means that the 12 single NLI records dedicated to MS Roth 51 are describing the textual units it contains and not the codicological ones. Davis, Handlist 164 (Leeds, 2005), no. 51 (iii).
