The Book of Esther in Hebrew

Codicology

The scroll is formed of a single sheet containing 13 text columns with 32 lines each, except for col. 11 which has 11 lines divided into two half-columns.

The text in the scroll is printed, but its prototype was copied in the Hebrew Ashkenazi script with tagin.

The letters ח (Es. 1:6) and ת (Es. 9:29) are highlighted by their size. Other enlarged and diminished letters are included in col. 11.

To almost all ל letters appearing in the words המלך occurring at the head of the text columns, a decorative stroke is added.

The text is printed, therefore the scroll lacks ruling and pricking.
