Notes:
14 lines. Novellae. This work must have been composed between, roughly, 1150 and 1175 due to the reference to Rabbi Samuel accompanied by the blessing for the living on line 14 (= the Rashbam or Samuel ben Meir). Most of the text apparently reappears in Isaac ben Abraham of Narbonne's thirteenth-century commentary on the Hilkhot Alfasi (see Blau's 1981 edition of manuscript BL Marg. Cat. 429, pp. 258-9), where the blessing has been changed to the blessing for the dead. Ha-Gaon Rabbi Isaac (see line 2) and the Baraita mentioned.
