Cambridge Genizah Studies Series, Volume 12","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Sefer Tagin Fragments from the Cairo Genizah, Marc Michaels transcribes and recreates fragments of arguably the earliest found manuscript of the manual for sofrim (scribes) concerning the decorative tagin (tittles) and 'strange' letter forms that adorn certain words in the Torah. Comparing these found fragments against other core and secondary sources of Sefer Tagin (including several pages of a new secondary source), Michaels establishes the most likely readings to assist the reconstruction of the fragments and shed light on the original intention of the author of Sefer Tagin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Assigned Sigla  List of Figures, Tables and Reconstructions  Note on Transliteration    1 Introduction   1 The ‘Strange Letters’, Visual midrash and Sefer Tagin   2 A Brief Introduction to tagin   3 Sefer Tagin—A Manual for sofrim (Scribes)   4 The Corpus of Textual Witnesses to Sefer Tagin—Core and Secondary Sources   5 Some Example Uses in Sifrey Torah   6 Adding to the Core Corpus, Oxford Bodleian MS.
