Esther scroll on parchment. [Italy, ca. first half of 17th century].
Faded light-brown ink, on light-brown parchment. Sephardi scribal writing (16 lines per column). Several letters in the column listing the names of the ten sons of Haman are embellished with adornments characteristic to Italy in the 16th-17th centuries.
Written on the last membrane at the end of the scroll [in a later writing: ca. first half of the 18th century] is the blessing "HaRav et Riveinu" and the text of "Arur Haman…", with Kabbalistic kavanot (according to the book Chemdat Yamim).
Height of parchment: approx. 23 cm. Fair condition. Stains. Tears, some damaging text. Some tears were sewn together (with thread made of animal veins) and one was glued on the verso with a strip of paper. Folds affecting text. Hole in one place affecting text. Many letters are blurred and faded due to aging.
Enclosed is an expert's report.
