- Summary
- New York, JTS, Ms. K105 is a fragment of a very well-executed manuscript belonging to a family of ilanot manuscripts known as "The Magnificent Parchment." K105 preserves the uppermost parchment sheet of the original rotulus, depicting Keter through Binah of the central kabbalistic tree. Unlike other manuscripts, in K105 “Ein Sof” is figured within a black crescent hovering above a regal crown that sits upon the sefira of Keter (whereas in all other manuscripts it is framed within an eye).
