Manuscript Note by Isaac Leeser Regarding a 16th-Century Hebrew Manuscript
This manuscript, written by Isaac Leeser, is an 8" x 6" page in English and Hebrew. Leeser notes that he found the Hebrew text in 1806 within a manuscript in the possession of the Rabbi of Berlin, dating back to the 16th century. The Hebrew text itself is in fine block letters with points and contains the year 5601 (1841), marking the beginning of a new 28-year Hebrew solar cycle. The significance of this date in relation to the manuscript's content requires further investigation. The manuscript was found among other Leeser papers and has been reviewed by Dr. Arthur Kiron and Bruce Nielsen at the Katz Center, University of Pennsylvania.
