(BIBLE)

Orient

10th-11th centuries

From the Collection of Daniel M. Friedenberg.

The vowel points are situated above the letters in conformity to the Babylonian system (also adopted in Yemen), as opposed to the Tiberian system prevalent today whereby, for the most part, the vowel points are placed below the letters. See EJ, Vol. II, col. 718, fig. 16 (excerpt from Book of Ezekiel in Babylonian script, 916 c.e., Leningrad Public Library, Firkovitch ms. B.3.)
