- Description
- This bifolium preserves two pages of a liturgical Pentateuch, or humash, containing the Hebrew Masoretic text and the Aramaic translation of the Targum, alternating verse by verse, with the grammatical notes of the Masora parva between the columns. Despite the losses sustained from its later use as binding scrap, this item is mostly intact. Manuscript document. Title devised by cataloger. Collation: Parchment, single sheet of 2 leaves (4 pages). Origin: Germany? Layout: Double column, 34 lines. Script: written in a square script. Decoration: None. Annotations: A few marginal notations and a line of text in Italian in a later hand. Disbound; manuscript binding waste recovered from a binding and therefore quite browned and with the text on the one side of the sheet obscured (but legible) by binder's glue; small losses to the gutter and the corners filled with modern paper.
- Provenance
