Notes:

Title from spine.; Layout: Written in informal paragraphs with the appearance of typical diary writing. Some entries are divided by a line (for example, f. 5v, 15r) and some without (for example, f. 13v, 14r) and a broken line with flourishes (f. 6r).; Ms. codex.; Origin: Written in central Italy, most likely in Ancona, by a member of the Firmo family; the Ancona attribution is because of the numerous references to rabbis from Ancona recorded as being present.; Collation: Paper, iii (modern paper) + 36 + iii (modern paper); 1-4⁴ 5⁶ (-1) 6¹⁴, 1 singleton; modern foliation in pencil, 1-36, lower left recto.; Binding: Rebound in modern leather binding. Gold stamped on the front board in Hebrew: 465-496, corresponding to the first and last dates inscribed. Spine stamped in gold: Pinḳas mohel leha-R. Firmo.; Script: Written in a hybrid Italian-Ashkenazic script, appearing informal with mixed usage of cursive and semi-cursive (for example, f. 29r). The pen use also switches in the manuscript between heavy and light ink, and suggests that the writing was produced on the move, as typical of a pinḳas of a mohel.; Hebrew.
