Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Four different panegyrics. The title and beginning of the first are not preserved in this bifolium (the first line here is אחר אשר שבת משושה). It is a long poem, rhymed in -eha. The second poem, which is short and rhymed in -ahu, mentions Obadiah and has a title (at the top of f. 2r) ופיה הדה אלאביאת, meaning that both sets of verses must be dedicated to this Obadiah. The third (ff. 2r-v), rhymed in -avi (-ɔḇi), and fourth, in -im, are dedicated to Rabbenu Isaac ha-Rav. The authorship of all the poems is unknown.</p>
