NoteFrom Fabrizio Quaglia [Apr. 2020]: Sulla c. [2]a nota di possesso in corsivo aškenazita del XVI secolo 'נאום יעקב בר יהונתן ז''ל מק''ק מונדא (Parola mia Ya‘aqov figlio del fu Yonatan della santa comunità di [?]’). ז''ל ‘z.l.’ è l’acronimo di זיכרונו לברכה ‘zikrono li-berakah’ (‘di benedetta memoria’); מק"ק ‘m.q.q.’ sta per ‘mi-qehillat qadoš’. 'מונדא potrebbe essere un’abbreviazione di מונדאביאו (Mondovì) ma non ho trovato riscontri; più probabile si tratti di una località di area aškenazita.

NoteFrom Fabrizio Quaglia [Apr. 2020]: Sul margine inferiore della c. [51]a nota di possesso in corsivo aškenazita: זו אני בינמן ב''ר דניאל שליט (‘Sono Io Binman figlio di Dani’el Šaliṭ’). Il nome בינמן è una variante aškenazita di בינימין (Binyamin). ב''ר ‘b.r.’ è la sigla di בן רב (letteralmente ‘figlio del rabbino’) ma qui indica piuttosto una forma di rispetto come il corrispettivo italiano del tempo ‘magnifico’ quindi ‘signore’.
