Tefilin shel Rosh per Rabbeinu Tam, Ar"i Script. Wrapped פ's per the Custom of Chassidic Leaders-Disciples of the Ba'al Shem Tov.


Tefilin shel rosh per the custom of Rabbeinu Tam, Ar"i script. C. late 19th century.

Some of the פ's were written in a unique, ancient style, by which the inside of the letter is double-wrapped internally, within the letter, hence this style letter is known as 'wrapped letters.'

There is an ancient tradition for this style of writing, but over time, used of this style waned, and even the Chatam Sofer wrote that one should not write in this way. Yet it is known that Chassidic leaders - disciples of the Ba'al Shem Tov, would lay tefillin with passages that contained wrapped letters.

Fine condition. The giddin have been opened. Usage and aging stains.
