A 15th-century manuscript from Italy \u2013 the smallest known one of its kind in Hebrew \u2013 is going to be auctioned off in Jerusalem this Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The manuscript was constructed from a single piece of parchment which was cut into roundels at 5.5 centimeters in diameter alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We know of only two other similar Hebrew manuscripts, and we can say neither comes close to the size and magnificence of this manuscript,” said Kedem Auction House founder and co-CEO Meron Eren. “It is the most unique we’ve ever seen.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the pages are a machzor \u2013 a Jewish festival prayer book for the Jewish holidays. However, as it is particularly tiny, the manuscript contains an abridged version with selected sections rather than the full text.<\/span><\/p>\n

It contains a complete Passover Hagaddah from Italian tradition, as well as piyuttim (liturgical poems). It has 98 pages altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is covered in artwork, too; its pages are decorated with gentle foliage in green, pink and burgundy, alongside an illustration of an angel blowing a shofar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Haggadah section contains illustrations of the Four Brothers from the famed Passover tale of the same name, as well as the many special foods of the holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not many religious texts are as unique as this one. Christianity has the Codex Rotundus, a 226-page Book of Hours from the 15th century. It, too, is circular. There are also miniature cut-outs of the Quran produced in Iran and Turkey in the 1500s and 1600s.<\/span><\/p>\n

The manuscript, previously kept by a private collector for 40 years, is currently being held by University Archives, an auction house in Connecticut, from which it will be flown to Jerusalem for its auction.<\/span><\/p>\n
