Description
  • Extent:
    15 ff. (ii+15+ii) Leaf height: 218 mm, width: 176 mm.
    Binding:

    Half leather binding with marbled paper and gold tooling on spine reading "ABRAHAM BRODA. NOFET ZUF. HEB. MS. NO. 33".


    Acquisition:
    Acquired by Enriqueta Rylands in 1901 from James Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford of Haigh Hall and later bequeathed to the The John Rylands Library.
    Layout:

    Two columns of between 33 and 35 written lines. No margins at the bottom and inner margins. Untraced borders defined by vertical folding of pages.


    Collation:

    Back of pages 15 and 16 glued together.


    Script:
    Ashkenazi cursive script.
    Data Source(s):
    Description based on Alexander Samely's unpublished draft catalogue, revised and expanded by Stefania Silvestri and Renate Smithuis.

    Abstract:

    Elia Levita's Arguments (נימוקים) in relation to David Kimhi's dictionary of the Hebrew language known as the Book of Roots (ספר השרשים). The content is in alphabetical order with the lemmata underlined, in two columns. The gold tooling on the spine identifies the manuscript as Nofet Zuf by Abraham Broda: clearly a mistake since the manuscript includes a title page corresponding to the actual contents.

    Modern ink pagination in Arabic numerals at the top outer corner of each page from 1 to 27, starting on second folio.


    Format:
    Codex
    Material:
    Light blue paper.
    Provenance:
    Back paste-down: Bookplate of the "Bibliotheca Lindesiana", with shelfmark "E / 6".


    Note(s):
    Text arranged according to alphabetical lemmata. Marginal corrections on pages 18 and 19.
    Accompanying Material:
    Paper fragment reading: in ink "No. 17 Autograph. Unbekannt. / Abraham Broda. Nofet Zuf." and in pencil "52119 / 37 / [...]".
