Megillat Esther written on parchment, with fine scribe writing ("Beit Yosef" writing), 11 rows. [Early 20th century].
According to the opinion of the Vilna Ga’on and the Chatam Sofer, the letters of the sheet listing the names of" the ten sons of Haman" should be the same size as the rest of the Megilla. According to other opinions, the ten sons of Haman should be listed on one whole sheet and in large letters. In our generation, meticulously observant people have begun to write the entire Megilla on only 11 rows, to comply with all opinions. These Megillot are more expensive since they have more sheets than the regular Megillot. It is rare to find a Megilla with 11 rows from such an early period of time, [most of the Halcha authorities who discuss this disagreement, do not propose this solution of writing 11 rows. See Mishnah Berurah Siman 691, Sha'ar HaTzion, 16. It is well known that the Chazon Ish owned such a Megilla].
Height of parchment 17.5 cm. Good-fair condition, faded ink in many letters. Usage stains.
