Lot 274
Manuscript – Toldot Yeshu – Europe, 19th Century
Manuscript, Toldot Yeshu the Nazarene. Ashkenazi writing. [Europe, 19th century].
Toldot Yeshu also called Ma'aseh Talui is an early anonymous Jewish work with various tales of the history of Yeshu the Nazarene. This work was distributed in manuscript form for many years but not printed by Jews (until recent times) from fear of harassment. The text of this manuscript differs from the version printed by Yehuda David Eisenstein in his book Otzar Vikuchim. Not thoroughly examined in comparison to known manuscripts.
[40] pages. 19 cm. Good-fair condition, stains [some places have dark ink blotches, with damage to text]. New binding.
