MEDIAEVAL HEBREW MANUSCRIPT LEAF Leviticus ch. 21-24 JUDAICA ANTIQUE RARE 15th

A well-preserved leaf from a codex containing a book in Hebrew with a commentary from Rashi (רש"י) on parashah Emor from the Book of Leviticus and which was known in the 15th century.

Emor is the 31st weekly Torah portion (פָּרָשָׁה‎, parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the eighth in the Book of Leviticus.

The parashah constitutes Leviticus 21:1–24:23.
