A leaf and two fragments from various manuscripts, in Hebrew and Aramaic [Yemen, 15th/16th century and later]

single leaf and 2 fragments, paper (a) 245x165mm, Maimonides, Mishneh Tora, the start of the chapter written in larger COLOURED LETTERS, Book II: Sefer Ahava, Hil. Tefilla IV,19 end - V,3 beginning; (b) 245x165mm, Bible, Num 27,22 - 28,17, with the Aramaic translation transcribed inter-verse, each verse of the Hebrew text followed by its Targum; (c) 240x150mm, unpublished

The leaf and the two fragments were recovered from a binding that belonged to Michael Krupp (recorded in the database of the National Library of Israel as JER KRUPP 192); it is not known for which book the binding was used. When the fragments were still part of the binding, the visible sides of two leaves used as pastedowns were published by Stefan Schreiner ('Zwei hebräische Handschriftenfragmente als Buchverstärker', Judaica 62, 2006, pp.246-51 and 343-47). According to his very detailed analysis, the pastedowns include many variations compared to the standard text and the printed editions.
