Sample Text	This is a manuscript codex of piyutim and hymns written by various scribes likely to be used as a hymnal; the manuscript is oblong and folios flip downward (typical of 19th century Turkish hymnals). The hymns were possibly meant as an addenda to a liturgy, as Adon ʻolam (with variants from the standard text; f. 9r) and Psalm XLIII (f. 10r); blanks between hymns were left anticipating insertions of additional hymns. The Piyutim follow Turkish maqam (maqam modes listed include Rast, Sikah, and Ibij'). Many folios written in stanzas, with the opening words in a Sephardic square script; text mostly in a Turkish cursive script; Ladino hymn in a 19th century square script in a scribal hand (f. 7r-8r). A multicolored page (possibly designed to be a frontispiece to the completed manuscript) designed with reds, blues, and greens with flora; script in architecture (text from Israel Najara, likely used here as a motto): ישמחו ענוים שירה וישמח להלל שם אל ברא כל נברא ואין בלתו מחולל.
