medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Chris,
Thank you for the url. I haven't seen the facsimile in 20 years.
The Hexateuch is the MS where on f. 125v I found the handwriting of
what had to be a youngster writing her pre-Rashi Hebrew alphabet. It
was a female, all right. She signed her name 3 times, Elizabeth,
spelled correctly in Hebrew -- with an Ayin. Back in 1992, DRH
thought it was a grown woman; however, while the the fact that the
letters are uneven in size is not a sure indication of age, the
writing is very much that of someone who had not yet learned to hold
a straight line. Someone who was already writing OE or Latin would
keep a line, if not yet well-practiced in this new alphabet. It
smacks of a child doing a "so there; I do know the alphabet." All
that lovely white space in the bottom margin to write on.....
Bob, it has been so many years, I really don't know what is missing.
I do know that the huge dragon-boat Noah's ark illumination is not
there. I looked for it. Then, there are also incomplete illuminations
towards the back that I did not see.... but Chris did note that not
all of them are on-line.
Thanks again, Chris.
