Manuscript Notes
NoteOn the verso of last leaf there are two inscriptions:
מילך אבראהים אבן כב"ר אבן אסחק אלכהן השם יברכו וישמרו הוא וזרעו וזרע זרעו עד סוף כל הדורות אמן נ"ס
(M-l-k Ibrahim son of [a certain] rabbi son of Isaac al-Kohen, may the Lord bless him and keep him and his offspring and the offspring of his offspring until the end of the generations. Amen)
על שם הילד הבחור הנעים ילד שעשועים אברהם ב"ר כ"ר אלייה ב"ר כ"ר יצחק (י"צ)
(For the name of the pleasant young man, delightful child Abraham son of R. Elijah, son of R. Isaac)
Probably the two owners' notes refer to the same Abraham, son of Elijah although the first is written with Arabic form for the names (as well as for the word for 'son' and the article 'al'). The name of Elijah is missing in the first note, perhaps by mistake.
The second note is written in Hebrew (without Arabic influence) and in a slightly different script.
Method of acquisitionunknown
Manuscript notesIt is possible that a few marginal notes that appear with the textual portion referring to the building of the Sukkah were written by Abraham. However, because of the scarcity of such notes one cannot be certain of this.

NoteOn top of the recto of the first leaf there appears owner's note in Ashkenazi hand:
ממני הקטן נאם אורי פייבוך בן לא"א יוסף שליטא
(For me the little one, word of Uri Feibukh (?Feibush), son of my father Joseph)
In this note, the name Feibush is unclear as the last letter seems to be 'kaf' or 'kof' and not 'shin'. However, the form Feibush is a very well-known name in Ashkenaz.
