Title page at beginning of manuscript: “Sefer Pirkei D’Rabbi Eliezer is Rabbi Eliezer ben Hurkenos… copied in city --- Titzdi VeTachrov VeYerushalayim…”. [In Yemen it was customary to sign name of city as “Titzdi Ve’Tachrov Ve’Yerushalayim”, i.e. that their dwelling place shall become desolate and the city of Jerusalem shall be rebuilt. In this copy, name of city VeGorer was erased from leaf; possibly because owner immigrated to Eretz Israel].

Ownership signature on first leaf: “Hada Pirkei Rabbi Eliezer Ha[Katan] Yosef Gahli”.
