Special Torah Scroll on Gevil, Italy, 18th Century. Including an Italian Mantel and Belt from a Later Period
Very beautiful Italian Torah scroll on thin gevil. Singular scribal script from beginning to end. 18th century.
Special characteristics of this scroll:
The script has an abundance of block
taggim and bent and looped letters (פ, ט) according to the familiar Italian tradition. Likewise, there are rare halachic traditions. For example, words with uncertainties and disputed traditions as to whether they are written as one word or two: The scribe would note the uncertain part between the lines in order to fulfill all opinions. (Refer to
Tashbetz 1:177: "To cover all uncertainties, I ordered scraping a
kes and widening the
lamed above and to write a
kes between the lines above the י"ה, and this is kosher." Other
poskim, mention this as well, as brought by
Bedek HaBayit 276, as well as by the author of
Ginat Vradim).
Owners' signatures in two places. (Probably Alfandra, the
sefer may have been in Turkey in the possession of a member of the renowned Alfandri rabbinic family.)
Scroll condition: Fine. The entire
sefer is authentic, without exchanged sheets. The script is whole and black in the case of most of the letters. Minimal corrections in words and verses. Minimal tears. The scroll can be made kosher.
Parchment height: 45 cm.
Fabric mantle for a Torah scroll with a matching fabric belt. Italy, 19th century.
Stunning embroidery with leaves and flowers. The front of the mantle bears an embroidered dedication made of silver threads: "In memory of Zuzpa and Maria Calvi. Calvi is a typical Italian surname.
The top of the mantle has something of an additional dome knitted together with an elliptical piece of wood.
Silver tassels around the dome. Wooden hoops at the top of the mantle, produced during a later period.
Silver tassels at the bottom of the mantle
Height: 72 cm. Width: 42 cm.
Fine condition. Tear in the mantle in the front in the section with the dedication.
