Neat, early Yemenite script, characteristic of the 17th century. The verses and some of the prayers are marked with supralinear vocalization. The margins of some leaves contain glosses by various writers: comments, allusions, keri and ketiv, corrections and added prayers and piyyutim.

The manuscript comprises: weekday prayers, Shabbat prayers, Pirkei Avot, songs for Shabbat and Motzaei Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh prayers, Pesach prayers, Pesach Seder and Haggadah, Shavuot prayers, fast day prayers, Eichah and Kinot for Tishah B'Av, high holiday prayers and Tractate Yoma, Sukkot prayers, Hoshanot, Hakafot and piyyutim for Simchat Torah, instructions for Chanukah and Megilat Beit Chashmonai, Purim prayers, mourning service, Selichot, Yom Kippur service, Birkat HaMazon and blessings (including blessings for weddings, circumcisions and pidyon haben), intercalation and charts of tekufot, texts for ketubot, divorce documents and other documents, reprimands and bakashot, Pitum HaKetoret, Tikun Rosh Chodesh, liturgical poems, and the Book of Iyov.

The siddur is lacking the beginning and end. The manuscript begins with the order of reading the Torah for weekdays, then weekday afternoon and evening prayers, and ends in the middle of chapter 21 of the Book of Iyov.

In the Hakafot for Hoshana Rabba (p. [51a]), at the end of the sixth hakafah, there is an added hakafah for Phineas, with an introduction: "The proofreader says: This is an additional hakafah arranged by R. Menachem Azariah in place of Joseph who is not one of the forefathers who had a covenant as we learn in Tractate Derech Eretz, namely Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Phineas and David; and some have this custom in the western lands". This gloss was first printed in the Sephardic-rite Seder Avodah printed in Venice, 1602-1604 – in the lifetime of R. Menachem Azariah [Rama] of Fano (see: M. Benayahu, Defus Zanetti, Asufot XII, pp. 120-121), and the contents of the gloss were already copied by R. Y. Bashiri into his Tiklal in 1618 – two years before the passing of R. Menachem Azariah in 1620 (see: Aviran HaLevi, Tiklal LeChag HaSukot, Bnei Brak 1989, preface, p. 49, and Maaneh Lashon, p. 13).
