Description
Summary:This study focuses on the palaeographical analysis of an almost unknown Torah scroll, Berlin, Private Collection, MS Rhineland 1217, written in Ashkenaz, around the beginning of the 13th century. This scroll is unique because it was written according to pre-Maimonidean halakhic strictures. The palaeographical features of this scroll are comparatively analysed here with a selection of biblical manuscripts and Torah scrolls, also produced in Ashkenaz and dated to between the late 12th and 14th centuries.
