Lewis-Gibson : Piyyuṭ

Lewis-Gibson

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Hošʿanot. (1) F. 1r, incipit: למ׳ משרת פי. Double acrostic, with strophes מ to ת preserved. The end of the piyyuṭ is indicated by a circellus, and the next piyyuṭ is marked with the heading הושענה.‎ (2) A single-strophe alphabetic Hošʿana, beginning on the pre-penultimate line of f. 1r; incipit: למען אב שני נעריו קח. It concludes at the bottom of f. 1v. An omitted line was added in the left hand margin of f. 1v, in a different hand to that of the main text. (3) A new Hošʿana, with תשר’’ק pattern, begins at the top of f. 2r; incipit: למענך תקיף במעונה. The opening lines, up to the פ strophe, are very similar to a Hošʿana appearing in Saadia’s siddur. (4) A fourth, single-strophe alphabetic, Hošʿana begins at the bottom of f. 2r; incipit: ענה אום שר מראש אמנה, and continues until half way down f. 2v. (5) The opening strophes, from ת to פ of a תשר׳׳ק piyyuṭ; incipit: תומים בני אמי.</p>
