History

Origin: 1397 Italy, N. (Cento)

Provenance and Acquisition

Avraham (?): perhaps the same scribe who also wrote MS Parma Palatina 2884, for the same patron in Bologna ca. 1400. Both manuscripts are festival prayer books, written in a similar style, with two last letters of the line often very elongated.

Yitsḥaḳ ben Shelomiyah: inscribed in the colophon with a date of 5057 (1397), Cento, folio 148v.

Yo᾿el ben Yitsḥaḳ: inscribed in the colophon, folio 148v.

Uzi᾿el Mikha᾿el of Camerino: inscribed, folio 1r.

Censored by Dominico Irosolomitano, Italian censor (fl.1575-1614): inscribed with his name, 1597 (folio 159r); see [Popper_1969] 61, and appendix § 62-74.

Censored by Giovanni Domenico Carretto, Italian censor (fl.1600-1624): inscribed with his name, 1628 (folio 158v); see [Popper_1969] 100-101, and appendix § 80-84.

Giuseppe Almanzi (b. 1801, d. 1860), bibliophile; his manuscript no. 109: his library including 322 medieval Hebrew manuscripts were purchased en bloc by the British Museum in October 1865 for £1,000 through Asher & Co., Berlin dealer to the British Museum (see [Paisey_1997] 131-153: inscribed, folio [161v].
