Manuscript, Tikun Lel Shavuot. [Yemen, 18th/19th century?]. Seder Tikun Lel Shavuot, written as a scroll on paper sheets sewn with string, rolled on wooden poles. According to kabalistic custom, the opening and concluding chapters of each book in the Bible should be read on Shavuot night. According to some opinions, also the beginnings and endings of the Mishnayot tractates are also read. This rendition is considered as if the reader had fully studied these books. This unique scroll includes all the tikun (including the Mishnayot). At the beginning of the scroll is a prayer to be said before starting to study, and at the end is the version of Hadran Alach on concluding the six Sidrei Mishna. At the beginning of the scroll after the opening prayer, one sheet is lacking [beginning of the book of Bereshit], replaced with another sheet with later writing. Height of sheets: 17 cm. Fair-good condition, stains, wear and tear. Lacking sheet, replaced with later sheet. Tear to first sheet, restored by sewing.
