Content Description
SummaryA Great Tree of the PaZP7 type, produced in Ashkenaz in the late eighteenth century. This specific modular configuration consists of an abridged version of the Poppers (Pa) moduleโcovering emanation up to the head of Arikh Anpinโinto which a complete Zacuto-แบemaแธฅ (Z) ilan has been spliced, followed by the continuation of the Poppers module (P7). The manuscript exhibits skillful scribal execution, featuring doubled lines for diagrammatic elements and a combination of Ashurite square script and Ashkenazi semicursive. It contains the "requires further consideration" (แบarikh โiyyun) gloss characteristic of the Poppers family.
