Title

MS 1036, Deuteronomy 28:41 to 30:20

Description

MS1036 originates from the same Torah scroll as MS1037. The manuscript
consists of two columns of text from Deuteronomy 28:41 to 30:20.
The scroll details parts of Moses's final discourse to the Jewish people prior to entering the Promised Land. The parchment is found to be in good condition despite its age. However, it is very dirty and soiled. The ink has lost its original blackness and degraded to a brownish red coloring.
The scroll is written in an Eastern European hand that is a blend of "Ketav Bet Yosef" and "Arizal." Some salient characteristics are the large letter LAMED on the word "Vayashlikhem" and the square supra-lineal punctuation on the words "Lanu Ulbanenu Ad Olam." Text columns are formatted to contain 60 lines of text.
