12 lines. Hebrew title-page announces Judeo-Arabic book on ritual slaughter. Includes colophon written by Aaron Tawil. This might well be the same author/scribe as Aaron ben Rafa'el Tawil, who wrote a Hebrew work on the same topic, Zevah shelemim, of which two autographs, both written in Rashid in respectively 1700 and 1705, have been preserved. Deuteronomy 1.5 quoted on lines 7-8. Compare Judges 6.15 to line 9.
