Sheloshim sheelot (teshubot) neged ha-notzrim. The text seems to be identical with the treatise entitled "Sheloshim sheelot she-shaal jehudi le-mumar ehad..." , alternatively it might be a later, revised version of it, because the treatise "Sheloshim sheelot she-shaal jehudi" is extant in two allegedly sixteenth-century manuscripts. If the two texts are identical, and the two manuscripts are truly written in sixteenth century, the item should be cancelled from our list.
