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’.
