Provenance and Acquisition

Latin inscription on front pastedown: 'Pentateuchus cum notis Rashii (i.e. Rabbi Salomon Jarchi) cum Haphtoroth Script. A.M. 4896 = A.C. 1136, vid. Wolf v. iv., p. 80. Sed annus scriptionis nusquam reperitur. Commentarius Rashi in characteribus Rabbinicis scriptus est.' This dating of the manuscript is most probably erroneous.

Abd Allah ibn Jabuf ben David al-Kala'i: inscribed with his name, folio 273v.

Two more mostly illegible ownership inscriptions, folio 273v.

Bears the bookplate of Adam Clarke.

Adam Clarke (b. 1762, d. 1832), Wesleyan Methodist minister and scholar: his bookplate with Greek inscription:‘ho theos agape estin’(inner upper cover). This codex, together with nine other manuscripts (Additional 9398-9407, see George Margoliouth, Catalogue of the Hebrew and Samaritan Manuscripts in the British Museum, 4 vols (London: British Museum, 1899-1935; vols I-III repr. 1965); IV, Introduction, Indexes, ed. by Jacob Leveen (London: British Museum, 1977), no. 119, 120, 70, 71, 73, 81, 143.), was acquired by the British Museum in 1834, once the property of the Hagen family and bought by Adam Clarke in Utrecht, 1823.
