Contents
This compilation complements the commentaries contained in the current second part (fols. 76r-90v) of the manuscript.
This part of the manuscript was originally a late-11th-century copy of Job and glosses were added on the margin later. After space proved to be insufficient, additional leaves (fols. 6-75) were added to the volume for more glosses.
