A fine facsimile and faithful rendition of Israel Museum Jerusalem MS 180/51, the lavish Hebrew manuscript produced in Northern Italy in 1479. Widely recognised as the most exquisite of all Hebrew manuscripts, the facsimile was produced by Italian craftsmen like the original and the binding used the British Library’s contemporary Henry Davies MS 73 as a model, as the original binding did not survive.
