Manuscript, Chumash Vayikra, Bamidbar and Devarim. [Yemen, ca. 15th/16th Century ].
Written in large, vocalized letters, with cantillation. Many places contain special letters: winding letters Pe and broad letters Chet, decorated crowns (Tagin), large letters and the like. Decorations at beginnings of sections. On margins of leaves, short Masoretic notes, unvocalized – Masorah Ketanah (on p. 53b appears a kabbalistic note in the same hand as the Masoretic notes, interpreting the number ten in the book of Bemidbar, 7:14 ["one spoon [weighing] ten [silver shekels] of gold"] as a source for the ten Sefirot [according to Sefer Yetzirah]).
The volume is lacking at the beginning and end. It begins in the middle of Parashat Tzav of the Book of Vayikra, and ends in Parashat Vayelech of the Book of Devarim.
[163] leaves. Approx. 20 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains, including large dampstains to most leaves. Wear and open tears to margins (repaired with paper). In several places, the text of the Masoretic notes is faded and deleted. New binding, with leather spine and corners, slightly damaged.
Provenance: Purchased from Prof. Meir Benayahu.
