ff. 1r-10rTitle: סגלות, קמעות וקבלה מעשיתTitle: Segulot, ḳemeʻot ṿe-Ḳabalah maʻaśitAccording to f. 1r, the folios bound together in this volume are from the writings of R. Daniel ha-Kohen and his son-in-law, R. Y. [...]
Gaster number in NLI catalogue is incorrectly given as 182. Description of Gaster 182 in the Handlist of Gaster Manuscripts does not match this volume (Gaster, M.,Handlist of Gaster Manuscripts held mostly in the British Library (formerly British Museum) London and in the John Rylands Library, Manchester[preface by Brad Sabin Hill (London, Hebrew Section, Oriental and India Office Collections, The British Library, 1995) (unpublished copy is available at the BL).

Ff. 4r-4v begins as follows: צה' -סגולה שם כ"ב אותיות אית[...] חשק . Apparently f. 2r is an unfinished copy of f. 4r.
Ff. 5r-5v:
F. 6r begins as follows: [...]שינוי ב"מ מצאתי כתו' תכף שירגיש מהחול קח לחם בצאתו .... With an Italian word inserted in line 4.
F. 7r: ש... עליו הקל... ורוצה לה... רתו כחדונא יש... הראה לו שם
Ff. 8r-8v: diagrams, calculations.
F. 9r: a few lines in Hebrew script.
F. 10r reads as follows: שם גדול בי"ט לשמירה פנה לא ינוס ולא ישן שמר ... וזה השם יושב על פתח ז' וההולך בדרך ...
