21 lines. Text on the Shabbat. Unclear whether this is a commentary, sermon, or something else. On this side of the folio, the text seems to concentrate on Exodus 31.17. Some of the quotations: Mekhilta of Rabbi Ishmael on Exodus 31.17 (lines 2-5); second half of Exodus 31.17 (line 5); Psalm 89.15 (line 7), Nehemiah 9.14 (line 18). Marginal note in the form of a rabbinic text (possibly a piece of Talmud).
