The Papercut Megillah Esther Scroll, made of a parchment cutout, handmade. Made in a limited amount of copies. Published by Or Editions, Baltimore (USA), [2000-s], Copy no. 18/180.
Megillat Esther, handsome scribal writing on high-quality parchment sheets. All the Megillah margins are decorated with a parchment cutout technique, precise impressive handwork.
Whereas usually, Esther scrolls are adorned with plant patterns, this Megillah has complex detailed decorations depicting figures and dozens of scenes from the Megillah story: the figure of Queen Esther, Ahasuerus' banquet, Esther's and Ahasuerus' wedding, etc. The upper margins of the Megillah are adorned with animal figures. The cutout designs were done according to an Esther Scroll originating in Holland, apparently from the 17th century (kept it the collection of the Israel Museum).
The scroll has an ivory-like attractive handle. The back of the Megillah is covered with red silk fabric. Placed in an elaborate case.
Parchment height: 24 cm. Good condition.

The Kennicott Bible. Elaborate facsimile published by Facsimile Editions. Including a commentary volume. London, [1985]. Copy no. 177/550.
A facsimile of an illuminated Spanish manuscript from 1476. The manuscript is named after Benjamin Kennicot (1718-1783) an English clergyman and Hebraist who acquired the manuscript for the Radcliffe Library in England.
The manuscript was commissioned by Don Solomon de Braga twenty years before the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492. It was designed and written by Moses Ibn Zabara and illuminated by Yosef Ibn Haim, in a fashion inspired by Islamic art. The manuscript contains the complete Bible with Radak commentary and Sefer Mikhlol.
An exceptionally beautiful facsimile which was published after five and a half years of preparation. Printed on paper of excellent quality produced especially to reproduce the appearance of parchment on which the original Bible was written. The gilding was done by hand, by seven artists who worked continuously for four months. Bound in an exquisite leather binding.
Facsimile: [444] leaves, 30 cm. commentary volume: 97 pp. Very good condition. Both volumes are contained in a fine box.
