Parchment Scroll of Thanksgiving – Commemorating Miraculous Rescue from Fire – Ferrara, 1758
Parchment scroll, account of a miraculous rescue from fire in 1758. [Ferrara, Italy, after 1758].
Square Italian script, vocalized. The scroll contains the account of the miracle, and is presumably intended for being read publicly on the anniversary of the event, in thanksgiving for the rescue.
The event described in the scroll took place in Ferrara on Shabbat Parashat Veyetze [9th Kislev] 1758, when a fire broke out in the home of the writer, while he and his wife were in bed. They were both miraculously rescued from the fire, together with their neighbor.
Parchment scroll (4 sewn membranes). 11 cm (9 lines per column). Good–fair condition. Stains. Creases. Tears in several places (slightly affecting text).
Provenance: The Gross Family Collection, Tel Aviv, 082.012.007.
