Torah
Targum
Fragment

A 14th-century Yemenite Deuteronomy (36 parchment leaves, partial — Deuteronomy 2:30–29:1 with gaps) with Targum Onkelos following each verse. Yemenite square script with full Tiberian vocalization for the biblical text and Masora magna and parva; the Targum carries Babylonian (supralinear) vocalization — preserving the Yemenite distinction of pointing biblical Hebrew Tiberianly while pointing Targum in the Babylonian system.
