Content Description

Summary (English)This ilan preserves a fragment of a family of large manuscript rotuli to which we have given the name "The Magnificent Parchment." The fascinating fragment shows a work in progress: the major diagrammatic elements and bold captions are in place but much remains incomplete.
Summary (English)אילן זה מהווה פרגמנט ממשפחה של מגילות אילן גדולות בכתב יד, לה הענקנו את השם "היריעה המפוארת". הפרגמנט מציג לנו את העבודה על האילן בעיצומה: האלמנטים הדיאגרמטיים העיקריים והכותרות המודגשות כבר מופיעים במקומם, אך חלקים רבים נותרו לא מושלמים.
