Colophon: “Blessed is He who gives strength to the weary and increases power to those who have no strength. Be strong, Judah son of R. Isaac, may he rest in peace, the scribe and vocalizer, and courageous be everyone who reads it. And it was completed in the year 5053 since the creation of the world [1293].”
(fol. 221r)
