Large, Rare Morocco Bible Torah Scroll on Vellum c1650
(c1650)Leviticus Scroll
This is a very large and rare [MANUSCRIPT] undated Bible Scroll, from the book of Leviticus found by locals in an attic what used to be a synagogue in Morocco during the 16th to 17th century, along with other judaica items. The scroll is Hand written and well preserved on soft Golden brown Deer parchment (Gvil) in the original Hebrew Script. According to it writing its from the 1600s. Scrolls on deer parchment are no longer made and the process of these scrolls have been lost over the centuries. The parchment holds its ink well and the letters remain black. Panes are tightly sewn together with natural animal string. The scroll is approx. 22 inches in height x 5 feet long. This is an opportunity to own a genuine piece of history as a family heirloom and a stunning display item for your home.
Shemot - Exodus 40:21 until end 40:38
Vayikra - Leviticus - 1:1 - 8:16 The Scroll measures approx 22" x 5 feet long
The Scroll Covers The Topics - The Tabernacle is Erected - Placing the table, The Lamp, The Incense Altar, The Drape and the Altar & The Washstand in the tabernacle - Setting up the Enclosure - The Cloud on the Tabernacle - Offerings brought in the house of God - Offerings of the high priests - Offering of Kings - The High Priest's Offering - Peace Offerings - The Priests' Portion - Installation of the Priests - & Much more This scroll is being offered un-framed, but due to it's age and very good condition I will be having it framed under glass for preservation and display reasons. The price framed will be significantly higher but this is just one of those rare examples in great condition that should be preserved and displayed for all to enjoy. I will wait a short while and offer it unframed at the price listed.
Would make a great Holiday gift, framed or un-framed.
