"Scribed in a South Arabian Jewish Scriptorium in the late 17th or early 18th Century by Yemenite Jews. I estimate the scroll at over 300 years old. Manuscript in Hebrew, on very highly finished white cow skin vellum panels, sewn and scrolled. Exceptionally tall: approximately 27 ", slightly uneven. Over 200 columns, comprising the Torah, or Pentateuch -- the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy -- the first five books of the Jewish Bible (Tanakh) and the Christian Old Testament." -- Appraisal

Coin of Jewish ruler John Hyrcanus II showing a Hebrew inscription around a laurel wreath on the obverse and with a double cornucopia on reverse.

Photograph of Hebrew and Greek texts on papyrus and another type of material. The photo background is brown. The material containing the Greek text is larger than the one containing the Hebrew.
