...and study our Karaite manuscripts, like this liturgical codex written in Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic. It is a composite codex from several parts. One of its sections was written by Abraham Kohen for himself in Jerusalem in 1668 (see the colophon!). https://t.co/cEBS36BLAK

And if you like illustrations, check out the 29 beautiful marriage contracts (ketubot). This 18th-century ketubah from Tarcento, Italy with cut-out design is one of the few remaining examples of this type of decoration. Can you identify the scenes? https://t.co/xjYVUyYMu4

You also find illustrated Esther scrolls among the new items. This one, probably from 18th-century Austria (spot the two-headed eagle!) includes not only biblical illustrations but also the 12 zodiac signs and an array of birds and flowers. https://t.co/fFo7aa7Oau

We invite you to turn the pages of Jewish prayer books from 13th-century France, 15th-century Yemen, and a Passover Haggadah in a 17th-century North-African codex ...

As the project draws to a close, it's important to say it wouldn't have been possible without the help of the brilliant Library team @TheJohnRylands and @UoMLibrary - thank you! And a huge thanks to EVERYONE for following, I've learnt so much from the #histmed community 🙌
