Lot 2007

12th Century, Handwritten Leaf of the Talmud. Handwritten on vellum, this page of the Talmud predates publication of the first complete edition of the Talmud in 1540 by Daniel Bomberg. Bomberg employed rabbis, scholars, and apostates at his Venetian publishing house, and was responsible for the first Rabbinic Bible, as well as the first complete Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds. It was once customary for Jews to use old manuscripts as binding material for their newly printed and bound books. This piece is an example of that practice. Fragile, with moderate toning throughout and rough edges. Approximately 11 x 8". Partially restored. Estimate Value $150 - 200
Ex Living Torah Museum collection.

 
Realized $276
