Ketuvim, Daniel. Codex on Parchment. 12/13th Centuries

"Codex" [מִצְחָף] is the designation for ancient books written not in a scroll format, but in a page-by-page format, similar to the books in use today.

Latin origin of the name: Caudex - book or anthology. The original meaning of the Latin term is "tree trunk" due to the wooden boards used for writing.

The origin of mitzchaf is Arabic, and it already appears in books by the geonim. This term refers to handwritten works that have been bound and are read in a book format: page after page. The text appears on both sides of each page, as in today's printed books.


Large manuscript, arranged in two columns, [20] lines per column. Oriental script with Tiberian vowelization, c. 12th-13th century. Ink on parchment.


The manuscript bears a passage from Sefer Daniel:

Page 1: 9:10 "HaNevi'im" through 9:20 "I was pouring out my supplication to Hashem..."

Page 2 - "...on the holy mountain" to 10:3 "after a full of three weeks [of days]"

Several notes on mesorah-hagedolah and -haketanah on the side of the text.


[1] leaf, taken from a binding. Expert's confirmation included.

Maximum dimensions - 230x260 mm.

Moderate condition. Tears in the margins. Delicate professional restoration to several tears.
