Description
Handwritten Taj. Book of Genesis-Exodus with the Onkelos translation and Rashi commentary, verse by verse Hebrew to Aramaic translation. The source language has vowels, the translation has accent marks. Yemen, 18th century.
[253] leaves. 22 x 15 cm. The end is missing, text to almost the end of the Torah portion Veyakel is present.
At the beginning of each Torah portion is an illustration, and at the end of each is a count of the number of verses.
As is known, there is great importance to the Aramaic translation. To this copier it seems the precision of the phrasing is paramount, and hence in one place he uses the translation from “Nuschat HaDrasha shel Rabbi Netanel Birav Yeshayahu.†It is possible that he meant the book “Maor HaAfela†that was first published by Rabbi Yosef Kapach (Jerusalem, 1957).
Not bound. The first pages of Genesis are damaged. Medium condition.Hebrew.
