We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. 19 During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son-and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn’t the son I had borne. 22 The other woman said, No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours. But the first one insisted, No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine. And so they argued before the king. 23 The king said, This one says,’My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says,’No! Your son is dead and mine is alive. 24 Then the king said, Bring me a sword. So they brought a sword for the king. 25 He then gave an order: Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other. 26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him! But the other said, Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two! 27 Then the king gave his ruling: Give the living baby to the first woman.

Rare 15th Century Spanish Torah Scroll Fragment – Pre-Expulsion – Deer Parchment. Material: Rare Deer Parchment (Klaf Tzvi). Type: Torah Scroll Fragment / Manuscript. Date: Circa 15th Century (Pre-Expulsion Spain). Script: Sephardic (Spanish) Scribal Tradition. ### Overview: An Extraordinary Piece of History. This manuscript dates back to 15th-century Spain, making it one of the few surviving examples of Jewish scribal tradition from the Golden Age of Spain, just before the Expulsion of 1492. Following the Spanish Expulsion, such scrolls traveled with the exiles to the Ottoman Empire and eventually reached Eretz Israel. This tradition deeply influenced the holy city of Safed, the 16th-century world center of Kabbalah. This fragment is a living witness to that monumental journey. ### Content: The Mystery of the Inverted’? “Nun”. This specific fragment contains one of the most unique and mysterious sections in the entire Torah: Numbers 10:10 – 11:5. “Vayehi Binsoa HaAron” (Numbers 10:35-36): These two iconic verses describe the movement and resting of the Holy Ark. Recited globally in synagogues today, they represent Divine guidance and protection. The Inverted “Nun” (?) : This fragment features the rare and ancient scribal anomaly of the Inverted Nunim. In the Sephardic tradition, these letters bracket the verses of the Ark’s journey. According to the Talmud, they signify that these two verses constitute a “separate book” of the Torah, turning the 5 Books of Moses into 7. The “Mit’onanim” (The Complainers): The text continues into the beginning of Chapter 11, documenting the Israelites’ longing for the foods of Egypt (fish, cucumbers, and onions) and the shift from spiritual heights to human frailty. ### Unique Scribal Art & Kabbalistic Secrets. Paleographic Identification: A metric analysis shows a character height of 4 nib-widths (quills). This precise ratio is a definitive diagnostic tool used by experts to confirm 15th-century Spanish (Sephardic) origins. Material & Appearance: Written on Rare Deer Parchment (Klaf Tzvi), the fragment possesses a beautiful, warm, deep brown hue. This rich color is the result of the ancient organic tanning process, which has aged gracefully over 500 years. This fragment has been examined by renowned Judaica experts. Yechiel Zeitlin: Expert in ancient Hebrew scripts and the history of STAM. Rabbi Yehoshua Yankelovitch: A leading authority on ancient manuscripts and parchment identification. Considering its age of over 500 years, the fragment shows signs of its long history. It is a partial text fragment showing significant signs of age, including natural oxidation, moisture stains, and “burnt” or naturally worn edges. These imperfections are not considered defects, but rather a layer of authenticity and “soul” that collectors of ancient Judaica greatly value. Display Potential: This is an ideal candidate for professional framing. Once displayed under glass, it serves as a breathtaking centerpiece and a sacred family heirloom that will be preserved for generations. 20 cm (8 inches). Width (at widest point): Approx. 26 cm (10 inches). ### A Rare Opportunity. Owning a pre-expulsion Spanish Torah fragment is more than mere collecting; it is holding a tangible piece of the Jewish soul. It is a museum-quality artifact and a sacred family heirloom. Secured, professional packaging to ensure this delicate manuscript reaches you in safety.

A genuine medieval manuscript fragment on vellum, written in a fine Carolingian minuscule hand, dating from the 10th to very early 11th century A. This narrow strip of parchment once formed part of a large liturgical manuscript (likely a Missal or Sacramentary) produced in a Swiss or German scriptorium, quite possibly St. Gallen Abbey, one of the greatest centers of Carolingian learning and book production. The fragment was later recycled as binding material in a ca. 1485 Basel incunable, where it remained hidden for centuries before being recovered. Script: Clear and rounded Carolingian minuscule, the ancestor of modern handwriting. Decoration: Contains a red rubricated initial and additional red highlighting of sacred text. Text: From the Latin liturgy; fragments of prayers and chants. See photos. Condition: As expected for recycled binding waste; vellum trimmed narrow, with some staining and creasing. Script remains sharp and legible. Carolingian manuscript fragments are exceedingly rare on the market, far scarcer than later Gothic leaves. The survival of this fragment offers collectors and institutions a chance to own an authentic piece of early medieval book history, over 1,000 years old. ? Comparable examples: The style and script closely resemble manuscripts preserved at St. Gallen Abbey Library Cod. Provenance. Written in a monastic scriptorium in Switzerland or southern Germany, ca. Recovered from a Basel incunable binding c. All of my items are guaranteed to be genuine and authentic. Be sure to check out my other listings for more amazing Bible items.

This ANTIQUE/ANCIENT WOODEN SCULPTURE FRAGMENT is an estate find, and comes without provenance. , this small relic is an absolute feast for the eyes. As a layman, I can hardly begin to guess it’s age or origin, however I can confidently declare that it is very, very old… From it’s original form. Not only is it very old, but it was salvaged very long ago. There is an overall darkening of the finish (or what remains of the crackled “finish”), obscuring a thin, golden layer beneath the varnish. This gilded layer can be somewhat visualized in the photos featuring the metal probe, which points toward one small irregularly-shaped area where the golden layer is exposed. Clearly, this was part of a larger icon, as the Christ Child can be seen resting in the hand of a now-missing Saint. Some areas of the current surface are rough, unfinished and well-worn, where the remnants of the original statue were removed. Based on observation, I would guess that a damaging fire in the remote past could be one possible explanation for the state of the relic; but even if so, it would represent one of many chapters in the lost history of this wonderful, little piece… And I suspect that history could be measured in centuries (with the proper scientific equipment). Nevertheless, here it is, just as I found it. Long ago, someone thought enough of this fragment to crudely mount it on a small slab of wood and hang it from a loop of twisted wire, in what can only be described as a primitive salvage attempt. That attempt appears to have since been repaired… As I see a layer of a plaster-like substance on top of what appears to be an application of some type of adhesive or pitch. The last 2 photos show the relic loosely reassembled on the old wooden slab (included)… As well as it’s current home above my television, where it has been gathering dust for years (and where it can happily stay, should no one else see the beauty that I see). THANKS FOR LOOKING GOOD LUCK. I DO NOT CLEAN VINTAGE ITEMS… While I often make an effort to minimize loose dirt & debris, please understand that dust, grime, pet hair, odors (and the ghosts of previous owners) may be present. But I try to be a good guy in all of my trading activities and if there’s a problem of any kind, I encourage you to contact me. Soylent Green is made out of people.
