Francesco Magnani

Torah Scroll Bible, 1830 - 1860.

A rare find, from this location and age. The scroll has a beautiful yellow-brown colour like some scrolls that originate from Syria. This colour is a result of the process used in making the scroll. This process ages into a deeper colour over the centuries. The fragment offered is an early witness to the various Hebrew customs concerning letters, and as a whole, the writing of a Torah. Torah fragments like this are extremely rare and seldom seen in synagogues or available due to their age. The Torah scroll is well preserved given its age and in good condition. It will stay in this condition for centuries to come if it is well cared for. 

This piece is a one of a kind in a style that was used in Syria about 170 years ago. These are typical Hebrew letters and style. Even though it is historical and, considering its age, well preserved and authentic. In its current antique condition, it will remain in great shape with the proper care for centuries to come. 


*Heavy and thick vellum - Wild deer vellum with its typical colour. 

*It originates from a synagogue - Offered without the silver torah pointers.
