In this episode of Hebrew Voices, Decorative Doohickeys, Bible Scholar Dr. Nehemia Gordon discusses with Jewish scribe Marc Michaels, an ancient scribal instruction manual for Torah scroll calligraphy, his search for lost fragments of this ancient tome, and the sketchy practices of some manuscript dealers.

I look forward to reading your comments!
