Torah, Shemot. Especially Large Codex on Parchment, with Differences from the Mesorah. C. 10th Century

"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.


Especially large manuscript, arranged in two columns, [20] lines per column. Oriental script with Tiberian vowelization, c. 10th century. Ink on parchment.


The manuscript bears a passage from Sefer Shemot:

Page 1 - from 11:1 "will send you from here" to 12:2 "This month will be the first"

Page 2 - "month" to verse 13: "plague to destroy when I strike the land."


Several mesorah notes on the side of the text, with several differences from the traditional mesorah of today.


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

Maximum dimensions - 263x242 mm.

Moderate-fine condition. Aging stains. Fading and peeling ink in several words. Several tears in the margins, without lack in the text.
