Description

Hebrew Manuscript on Vellum. Italian square and cursive scripts, decorative initial word. The Michael Zagajski Copy, with his book-plate.

summary

The text of this sweet little manuscript varies somewhat from current style in that the word “LaOmer” precedes rather than follows the daily number recited. In addition, each page contains a verse from Parshath VaYishlach, the passage in which Jacob encounters his brother Esau.

28 leaves. Contemporary half calf over painted decorative boards, edges rubbed. 24mo.
