| Résumé: | This article aims to provide a full codicological and paleographical overview, as well as the contents of the Sefer Torah held in the University Library of Bologna (BUB, scroll 2). This scroll, which is the oldest complete extant Sefer Torah, has received an increasing amount of scholarly attention after its very early radiocarbon dating to the 12th-13th century was established, and its typological differences confirmed by the comparison with later Torah scrolls. In addition, this exemplar is a highly significant witness of a unique scribal tradition, otherwise known only through fragmentary evidence. The analysis of BUB Sefer Torah’s inner and outer features, compared with the scribal devices related to the copying of Torah scrolls in the Middle Ages, unveils a new approach to crucial questions on scribal traditions in the Jewish Middle Ages. |
