A SECOND GENIZA FRAGMENT OF THE BEGINNING OF JOSEPH IBN SHIMEON'S NE'UM TOVIYAHU BEN ZIDQIYAHU.

- Abstract
The article presents a second Geniza fragment of the beginning of Joseph Ibn Shimeon's Ne'um Toviyahu ben Zidqiyahu. The manuscript, kept in the Mosseri Collection VII 89.3, was recently identified by Dr. Miriam Fraenkel and Mr. Oded Zinger. The newly discovered fragment contains the ten lines copied in Ms. Cambridge, the University Library, T-S AS 117.69 which I recently published (Matti Huss, 'The Beginning of Joseph Ibn Shimeon's "Ne'um Toviyahu ben Zidqiyahu'", Tarbiz, LXXX [2012], pp. 241-260) and two additional lines copied in Ms. London, British Library Or. 6197. The newly discovered manuscript confirms the conclusions presented in my former article: the London manuscript is a direct continuation of the Cambridge manuscript, and the two were copied by the same hand; according to the two manuscripts and contrary to Joseph Yahalom's hypothesis, Ne'um Toviyahu was not prefaced by a prologue, and the beginning of the Maqama was not narrated to Toviahu by the protagonist. Rather the events were presented to the readers in the voice of Toviahu, who witnessed them personally.
