This activity workbook is designed to give students practice in the formation of the letters of the modern manuscript alphabet. Each letter is introduced with an accompanying picture. The proper formation of each letter is shown with numbered pen strokes and shaded letters for the child to practice tracing. Additionally, there are several lines for practice. If a student is having difficulty with a particular letter formation, try to identify at which stroke he or she is encountering difficulty. Practice these strokes individually before attempting to draw the actual letter. Good modern manuscript writing comes with practice. These pages offer a sequential program of development and practice with examples for guidance.

Hebrew manuscripts are considered to be invaluable documents and artefacts of Jewish culture and history. Research on Hebrew manuscript culture is progressing rapidly and therefore its topics, methods and questions need to be enunciated and reflected upon. The case studies assembled in this volume explore various fields of research on Hebrew manuscripts. They show paradigmatically the current developments concerning codicology and palaeography, book forms like the scroll and codex, scribes and their writing material, patrons, collectors and censors, manuscript and book collections, illuminations and fragments, and, last but not least, new methods of material analysis applied to manuscripts. The principal focus of this volume is the material and intellectual history of Hebrew book cultures from antiquity to the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, its intention being to heighten and sharpen the reader’s understanding of Jewish social and cultural history in general.
