Buyer's premium:

Manuscript with haftaroth in the Baladi nussach, mikrah and targum. Rare copy both because of the style of the letters themselves and the handwriting. Begins with the haftarah of Lech Lecha and goes until the end, with special shabbatot and holidays at the end. Some of the last pages were filled in later in a different handwriting, with the addition of the brachot for the haftarah of Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, the Three Regalim, and more. Nice leather binding done by hand during the period, with the remains of clasps for closing the book. More than 300 pages. 20x13cm. Identity of the scribe unknown. According to the writing style, this was probably done by an artist. Number of detached pages. Various tears. Stains and signs of use. Unprofessional taping in several places. No moth marks. Good general condition.
