A lot has happened since I last posted here. New job, new apartment, etc. and both the Safrus and the blog fell by the wayside for a bit. I plan on writing and posting more this year, we'll see how that goes.
For now, I have some pictures that someone at
Mi Yodeya asked me for. These pictures come from a partial Sefer Torah I have. The script has been identified by experts as South German/Czech from around the 1850s give or take. I was asked for pictures of the sections used in tefillin. Unfortunately, my scroll begins somewhere in Vayikra so I could only get the last two. Here they are below in high resolution because my sister was having fun with a rented SLR.
