| Summary: | This essay describes a signe de renvoi that appears in Hebrew manuscripts from the tenth century up to the eighteenth. This sign can be found in almost all geographic regions in which Hebrew manuscripts were copied and in all literary genres. Unlike graphic signes de renvoi which appear in Hebrew manuscripts, the sign described in this paper consists of two Hebrew letters: דך. In the first part of the paper the various ways in which manuscript copyists employed this sign are described in detail. The second part describes the ancora sign, which can be found in Greek, and later also in Latin, papyri and manuscripts from the first century b.c.e. until the fifth century c.e., and attention is being called to the graphic and functional similitude between these two signs. |
