The collection of the Sepher 1Hord (Book of the Law was composed of 42 rolls of parch- ment, and was one ofthe richestin ill the world. This book contains q MS. of the pentateuch; and, to show the value of a copy, we arc in formed that it is at Jerusalem only that the Rabbins may devote themselves to this labor

 ' ears are consumed in the production of one of these copies; for the slightest error, the slightest ensure, the most minute imperIee- ton or inequality in the letters, neeesstates the recommencement of the work. The let ters ofthe book are counted, and are two mil lions in number. With the exception of that at Bordeaux, the edifce destroyed Is said to have been the finest Hebrew temple in France.
