Description
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
The manuscript is of the 5 Megillot and commentary on them. It is written in Hebrew and Judeo-Persian. The decorative scheme of manuscript material from Kurdistan is of a pattern carried through not only Ketubot but Piyyutim manuscripts as well, as seen by three examples in the gross collection: this manuscript, #ku.011.001. And #035.011.004. The hollow letters forming a decorative frame around the page are related closely to the style of decoration used in decorated manuscripts from Iraq as well.
