Notes:
8 lines. Apparently, the Nissim of the Cambridge fragment was active in the sixteenth century (1541), while the Nissim of the St. Petersburg fragment, who might have been his grandson, is known to have written sermons at the beginning of the seventeenth century (1605-1635). The latter's bible commentary appears to be mentioned in the London fragment. Text partially faded.
