Dear book lovers and Hebrew readers :) For the detectives among us....could you help identify the text on those 16th century bindings??
This comes from the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ransom_center_fragments/sets/72157631515527542/with/7977963661/ See original request below. I noticed that at least one of the fragments might be a commentary on Psalms 78... (v.2 lower cover) Any help would be very much appreciated. Please email directly to Micah at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or to me. Many thanks, Uri ________________________________________________________ Uri Kolodney Hebrew & Jewish Studies Librarian University of Texas Libraries The University of Texas at Austin PCL 2.300 | Mail Code S5440 | PO Box P Austin, TX 78713-8916 Phone: 512-495-4399 | Fax: 512-495-4410 [email protected] www.lib.utexas.edu/subject/judaica/index.html -----Original Message----- From: Erwin, Micah A Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 2:57 PM To: Kolodney, Uri Subject: question from the HRC Dear Uri Hi, I was wondering if you could take a look at this fragment from what looks like a Hebrew scroll: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ransom_center_fragments/sets/72157631515527542/with/7977963661/ It looks like it could be medieval and is probably at least from the 16th century. If you have any idea what it might be it would be much appreciated. Kevin told me to contact you.
