Yemen

1777

A Tichlal Manuscript. Yemenite cursive and square Hebrew scripts, in an attractive hand. With punctuation occasionally above the letter. Black ink on paper, ff.110. Opening page within geometric border

Undated, as are most Yemenite manuscripts. Nevertheless, an interesting poetic prayer recited on the Fast of Av lamenting the loss of the Temple in Jerusalem records the Destruction 1,707 years earlier (i.e. 70 C.E.) Consequently the manuscript can confidently be dated to the year 1777. A later hand has corrected the date to accord with a recitation some100 years later
