Excerpt from The Palestinian Version of the Holy Scriptures: Five More Fragments Recently Acquired by the Bodleian LibraryI. Early in the year 1891, five parchment leaves were sent to the Bodleian Library from Egypt, where they had been procured by the late Rev. Greville J. Chester 1. The leaves are palimpsests, four being rewritten on both Sides, the fifth on one side only. The upper writing is in an ancient cursive Hebrew hand, and is assigned by Dr. Neubauer to the beginning of the twelfth century Of our era. It consists of certain portions of the Mishnah, and as these will be described in the Appendix to Dr. Neubauer's Catalogue of Hebrew M ss. In tbe Bodleian Library, a further account of them is un necessary here.
