Does anyone recognize this Ksav?
The image below comes from a heavily water damaged half-sefer someone gave me last night. The section I have runs rougly from Parsahat Shmini until the end and is written in 60 lines without vavei ha'amudim which leads me to say German but I didn't think Yekkes wrote like this.
Hi Yitzhak,
ReplyDeleteThis Sefer is very likely from Chekoslovakia.
Thank you.
DeleteWould you be able to point at any unique features that tipped you off?
German style
ReplyDeleteSome key features are the rounded SHINS and the right curving feet of the KUFS, among others.
ReplyDeleteI restored a sefer with ksav and ink condition very, very similar to this one about three years ago. The shul that had it said that it came from Bohemia around 1850. So, based on the similarity I'd say this sefer probably came from SE Germany or the Czech Republic as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Zayins on the second line are a good example to what is mentioned here (in the last paragraph).
ReplyDeleteI 2nd Binyomin. Spot on.
ReplyDeleteThe Zayins, Shins, and legs of the lange nun are typical.
