Iberian Peninsula (Portugal?): 15th century
A finely composed Book of Latter Prophets almost complete - lacking only the first 22 verses of Isaiah. The name “Yoseph” is marked on f. 107b, likely alluding to the name of the scribe. This manuscript is very similar to another Biblical text written in Lisbon toward the end of the 15th century (British Library ms. 15283). See G. Sed-Rajna, Manuscripts Hebreux de Lisbonne (Paris, 1970) pp. 74-5, no. 18.
