Manuscript leaf on parchment, fragment of an early prayer book, removed from a "binding genizah", bearing a unique, expanded version of the Baruch SheAmar blessing. [Yemen, 13th century].
Early Yemenite script. Supralinear vocalization.
This unique version of the Baruch SheAmar blessing does not appear in the extant Tiklal prayer books, however, it is similar in part to the early Persian version.
[1] parchment leaf (written on one side). 21 cm. Fair-poor condition. Stains. Tears, holes and extensive worming, affecting text. Some of the text faded and is hardly legible.
