Scribe Role Observations

According to Richler and Beit-Arié Catalogue, "[f]f. 42-65 were copied by Moses b. Isaac Rieti, the well-known scholar and poet, in Perugia in 5196=1435/6, for his own use. Rieti indicated that he completed his copy at the age of 48; in the colophon of MS Florence, Laurenziana, Conv. Supp, 12, which he copied in 1456/7, he specified his age as 70." (p. 351)
Sfardata record seems to attribute the entire manuscript to Moses b. Isaac's hand.
The specimen added today (4.12.24) features ff. 22v-23r.
