Abstract This article brings into focus a small collection of texts, previously unknown, copied onto a blank page at the beginning of a well-known early modern Hebrew literary manuscript produced in the Ottoman Empire (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Ms. Poc. 74/1). These are versions of poems from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, which exhibit unique variants with respect to the already known witnesses, and have the particularity of having been copied in Hebrew script as probationes pennae . The following pages report on this discovery, study the poems in relation to their co-texts and the context in which they were produced, and discuss the way in which this small collection of texts enhances our understanding of the codex. A final appendix presents an edition of the poems (in Hebrew script with a transcription into Latin script).
