Two volumes, manuscript, Perush HaMishnayot L'HaRambam, Seder Nezikin. Original Judeo-Arabic version. Volume 1: Tractates Bava Kama-Avodah Zara. Volume 2: Rambam's introduction of Tractate Avot and Tractate Horayot. [Yemen, c. beginning of 20th century].
Interesting ownership inscription by "Chaim son of Salam Elaziri" [Rabbi Chaim son of Shalom Ozeri].
Perush HaMishnayot was originally written by the Rambam in Arabic, later translated to Hebrew by Rabbi Samuel Ibn Tibbon and other translators who translated the Mahadura Kama. The original Arabic version was studied in Yemen. The revised Mahadura Batra is common in Yemenite manuscripts [Perush HaMishnayot was written by the Rambam in his youth before he wrote the Mishne Torah - the Yad HaChazaka. In various places, the Rambam retracts explanations of treatises that he wrote in Perush HaMishnayot. In Yemenite manuscripts, revisions exist which were evidently written in later revised editions after the Mishne Torah had been completed].
