The most exceptional document we keep at the ACN is a fragment of a Torah scroll, dated to the 14th century. The Torah is the sacred text of the law of Judaism that is found in synagogues kept in the hekkal, which is the closet located on the eastern wall of the temple. It is a book in the form of a scroll. The text is written in Hebrew and is presented in horizontal columns along the 14 meters of the document. We can assume that originally the Torah of the Arxiu Marcal de la Noguera was rolled up in two wooden stems topped with silver knobs and protected by a mantle, the mappah, although these are not preserved today.
\nThis document was found in Balaguer and, although we know nothing of its history, we do know that it belongs to the area of \u200b\u200bMediterranean Judaism because of the small variations in the type of Hebrew script used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13863,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"eix":[3],"class_list":["post-11648","document","type-document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eix-sistema-institucional-i-governanca"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
