Notes:

Incipits in enlarged characters over a space; each responsum with corresponding number in margin, and ending with 2hyphens plus 2 spaces.; Halper 157 1r contains the end of responsum no. 50 in the critical edition of Ben Meʾir (Sheʾelot u-teshuvot Min ha-shamayim /Yaʾaḳov, mi-Merṿish; Yaʹaḳov Ben Meʾir [ed.]; Jerusalem : s.n., 1972) starting נישנית אלא; followed by the beginning of responsum no. 2 (numbered here, in the margin: 361).; Halper 157 1v starts with the end of no. 52 and the beginning of 39 (here: 365).; Halper 157 2r resumes with nos. 82-85 (here: 403-406).; Halper 158 1r (fol. 3) resumes with nos. 64 (starts וצריך להוציא) then 62, 21, 19, 23, 25, up to חנוכה שמדליקין בבית הכנסת (here: 414-419).; The order of the responsa differs from the other copies of this collection, and is closer to a topical arrangement. The high correspondent numbers allotted to the responsa probably indicate that it is presented here as an appendage to another collection.; On the different editions of this collection, see: Israel M. Ta-Shma, Tarbits 57 (1988), p. 51-66; Neil (Naḥman) Danzig, Tarbits 58 (1989), p 26-48.; Hebrew. Hebrew; Forms part of: Cairo Genizah Collection.
