Two Ester scrolls, Zuckerman printing press, Jerusalem, circa 1900. Two different editions. Scrolled like a parchment scroll. The height of both is identical: 12 cm.
These scrolls do not appear in the National Library and are not listed by the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book. They have never been seen in auctions!
A rare, unique item for collectors of Ester scrolls and for collectors of items of the printing presses of Jerusalem.
One of the scrolls is of nineteen columns while the other is longer, with 38 (!) columns. An interesting fact is that at the end of the longer scroll, there is an illustration of the place of the Temple!
Both scrolls include the blessings that are said before and after the reading of the scroll.
Condition: Good. Wear. Gluing.
