Abstract:
Most of the famous Dead Seas Scrolls, which were discovered in southern Israel in 1947 and date back close to 2,000 years, are on display at the Shrine of the Book, a special exhibition room built specifically for them at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. But this particular fragment, which includes part of the Psalms and dates from the year 50, was held privately and never shown publicly until this week. Other items on display at the exhibition, which organisers are calling "the world's greatest collection of Jewish, Christian and Muslim holy books", include the first ever complete printed Mishna, a 14th century bible from Lisbon, Portugal and a 13th century Talmud. The page of Mishna, a book of authoritative Jewish law as compiled by early rabbis text, was printed in Naples in 1492 by Joshua Solomon Soncino. It deals with the laws regarding forbidden mixtures of species in agriculture, breeding and clothing and forms part of Zera'im (Seeds), one of the six divisions or orders of the Mishna. Added to the text is Moses Maimonides's commentary translated from the original Arabic.
