Esther Scroll with a Fine Ivory Handle – "Yitzchak Molcho"
Esther Scroll with an ivory handle. [Holland?], [19th century].
Parchment; ivory.
21 lines per column. Rolled on a nice ivory handle, carved, striped and pierced. In numerous places in the scroll appear enlarged letters for initial and last letters of words, highlighting the letters G-d. In this scroll, there are tens of enlarged letters, while in other scrolls with enlarged letters there are only about 3-5. In addition, signs in shapes of pointing fingers appear on the right margins of columns, pointing at verses, and it might be assumed that they point at the mentioned hints.
On the reverse of the parchment appears an ownership inscription: “Molcho” and on the first leaf: “Yitzchak Molcho” [the Molcho family – a famous rabbinic family from Turkey and Greece].
Height of parchment: 14 cm, handle: 30.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Wear and holes to first parchment sheet. Stains. Breaks and cracks to upper part of handle. Remnants of a parchment ribbon for binding, appear at the end of the scroll.
