Sephardic semi-cursive script, with initial words in square script. The present leaves are from section 14 (laws of oaths and vows, beginning from around the middle of part 5), and section 15 (laws of shechitah, until around the middle of part 3). Some leaves consecutive.

In margin of one page, several lines in a later hand, as well as owner's signature: "Shalom son of Machluf Gig" (perhaps the dayan R. Shalom Gig of Constantine, Algeria, mentioned in Responsa Pri Tzaddik by R. Refael Yedidiah Shlomo Tzror, Livorno 1748, section 12).

[12] leaves. Approx. 30 cm. Varying condition due to binding. Dark stains, some affecting text. Open tears (some large), affecting text. Light worming.
