NoteFrom Fabrizio Quaglia [May 2021] Sulla c. [153]v, bianca, ci sono un disegno che ritrae in verticale una mano sinistra guantata mostrante la parola in ebraico quadrato שדי (nel senso di ‘Onnipotente’), al cui dito indice è collegato un pentacolo nero iscritto in un cerchio, e subito sotto la nota di possesso in corsivo ebraico ח]דושי התורה לרב רבינו משה ב''ר / נהמן תנצבה / אני משה] (‘Commento alla ‘Torah’ del defunto rabbino Mošeh b.R. Naḥman. Io sono Mošeh’); תנצבה ‘t.n.ṣ.b.h.’ è l’acronimo di תהיה נשמתו צרורה בצרור החיים (‘Sia la sua anima legata nel fascio della vita’) da Samuele I, 25:29. Il nome divino שדי ‘Šaddai’ spesso si trova negli amuleti ebraici, forse pure il disegno descritto lo è. La stessa frase compare anche vicino al margine sinistro del recto della c. di guardia posteriore dov’è la firma di ‘Aron Choen’ ma è leggermente coperta ed è capovolta rispetto al foglio, inoltre la mano ritratta è la destra; al suo fianco, con altro inchiostro, si legge una prova di penna in ebraico quadrato con le parole ח]דושי התורה].
