Written in Sephardic square and semicursive scripts (most of the text), with some written in Solitreo cursive (such as f. 20v-21r), in the hand of former owner Moses Querub (his inscriptions preceding and following the manuscript; recording the death of his father, Shem Tov bar David Querub, on f. 1r, and his additional inscription dated September 1908, Lisbon, on f. 54v, and his autograph "Querub" on title page).
