* Enclosed with the manuscript are several handwritten leaves from a synagogue (in Italian).

The list includes some interesting data regarding the community's ceremonial objects (such as Torah mantles and crowns, curtains for the Ark, etc.). Among the Festivals mentioned in this list are two Purim Sheni festivals. One is Purim D'Buda, which was celebrated in Italy following the salvation of the Jews during the Austro-Hungary war against the Turks. The second is Purim of Fire which is celebrated on the 11th of Sivan in the Padua community, commemorating its salvation from the fire which broke out in 1795.
