Manuscript on parchment, Mishne Torah L'HaRambam, Sefer Zemanim. [Spain, 14th-15th century].
Large impressive volume of a manuscript from the time of the Rishonim, the generation before the Spanish Expulsion. Handsome copy in Sefardi writing characteristic to its time and place. Brown ink on parchment, processed and sketched. The booklet sheets are folded and arranged in a manner that the hairy side is always placed opposite the fleshy side so that when opened the color will be uniform.
The manuscript has been proofread by an expert proofreader from the time of the copy, who reviewed the version of the Mishne Torah, completed what the copier missed and corrected mistakes.
