Show moreThis manuscript is the oldest known text of the Sheʼiltot, the first work with an attribution of authorship to be composed after the redaction of the Talmud (ca. 500 C.E.). Its combination of halakhic, aggadic, and ethical elements are arranged according to the weekly Torah portion as well as the portions pertaining to holidays. Sheʼiltot may be translated as "questions" or "discourses." Since much of the subject matter of the manuscript predates the final editing of the Talmud, these discourses are important in establishing accurate readings of many talmudic texts. This manuscript is crucial for the establishment of a critical edition of the Sheʼiltot. In Oriental semi-cursive script; headings in square script; numerous marginal glosses in several later hands. Scribe unknown. Ruled in hardpoint, single-column text, 27 lines; brown ink. Sassoon no. 415. Physical manuscript previously owned by: Sasson ben Mordecai Barzani of Mosul; David Solomon Sassoon.
