Beschreibung:

Three fragments of parchment manuscripts removed from a "bindings' geniza", sections of ancient manuscripts of the Babylonian Talmud. [Europe, 13th century]. * Two leaf fragments from Tractate Yevamot (pages 104a-106a of the printed versions). Two columns per page, in square Ashkenazi script [13th century]. The leaf was cut across in half for use in binding. The two parts constitute almost the entire original leaf with the exception of several lines in the middle. One side of the leaf is very legible, whereas the other is faded and worn. Each section is approximately 29X17-18 cm. * Section from Tractate Bava Kama (pages 87a, 88a of the printed editions). Two columns per page, in square Ashkenazi script [13th century]. The leaf is partially torn and lacking at top and at the right side. 21X24 cm. Three leaf fragments by various writers. The leaves are dated to the 13th century according to NLI experts [see enclosed material]. These fragments of ancient manuscripts of the Talmud were written in time of the Rishonim, about 200 years before the printing press was invented. The text of the Talmud appears consecutively without the text of the mishnayot (which were assembled at the beginning of each chapter, typical of ancient manuscripts of the Talmud). These fragments contain several variations in comparison to the printed versions of the Talmud. Three parchment fragments. Size varies, overall fair condition. Various damages sustained by the binding process.
