The manuscript is kept in a red leather box, with two gold tooled dedicatory inscriptions in German and in Hebrew, placed one above the other on one side of the box. Each inscription is framed by gold tooled panel decorated at the corners by a foliate motif. The German inscription reads: Seiner k.k. apostolischen Majestät Franz Josef I. in tieffster Ehrfurcht zu dero beglückenden Geburtstage a. 18. August 1855 dargebracht von dero allerergebensten Unterthan Moses Müller, hebräischer Kalligraf The Hebrew inscription reads: לכבוד אדונינו החסיד/ האדיר משיח ה' הקיסר/ פראנץ יאזעף/ הראשון יר"ה/ ליום לידתו ח"י אויגוסט/ תתנ"ה לפ"ק/ מאת עבדו המתבק בעפר רגליו משה מיללער סופר סת"ם: "To his imperial royal apostolic mayesty Franz Josef I. in deepest awe to his joyful birthday on August 18th, 1855, given by his faith fullest servant Moses Müller, Hebrew calligraphy." It should be noted that the Hebrew date לפ"ק855 (=[5] 855) usually means the date for the Creation thus it suppose to be, 2095 A.D. (855 1240), however in this inscription 855 is given without the 1000 years of 1855.
