Ancient manuscript pages on parchment preserved in a binding. Sections of Mishlei (Chapter 22, Verse 15 – Chapter 28, Verse 26). Square Ashkenazi writing, with vowels and te'amim. [Ashkenaz or Italy, 13/14 century?].
Two pages. Each page has two columns (each verse is divided into two parts instead of the etnachta).
Parchment sheet, written only on one side. Used for a binding [of a book or a binder]. On the reverse side are Latin inscriptions. The condition of the manuscript is remarkable in lieu of the fact that it served as a binding, and the text has remained almost complete.
Parchment leaf, 48X30 cm. Binding marks (folding marks, inscriptions and needle holes), spotting and wear.
