Yemen circa 1850
A RARE UNIQUE hard cover Leather Bound Manuscript hand-written of the complete Books of Ruth, Ecclesiastes & of the book Tikkun Leil Shavuot
(The name Shikun Tikkun Leil Shavuot came from the Zohar, where the Aramaic word Tikkun, which means "decoration," appears in Hebrew. This means that the people who recite the Tikkun are the best men who decorate the bride-Torah during the night, before she enters the chuppah the next morning while reading the Ten Commandments.)

(Shlomo Yitzhaki better known by the acronym "Rashi" Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki February 22, 1040 – July 13,1105) Shlomo Yitzhaki was a medieval French rabbi famed as the author of the first comprehensive commentary on the Talmud, as well as a comprehensive commentary on the Hebrew Bible.)
In this present manuscript (as you will see in the pictures) the words and text have dots and dashes called "nikud" (Vocalizations) in other word you will see the vowel for Pronunciation. Also it has the musical notes called "Trope". Trope is the musical phrase contours (cantillations) which are applied to the words of a sacred text during public readings. These cantillations marks are called in Hebrew "ta'amei hamikra". Some edge wear as expected which does not effect the importance of this manuscript. Overall In good condition considering age.

Onkelos (Hebrew:
אונקלוס
) is the name of a famous convert to Judaism in Tannaic times (c. 35–120 CE). He is considered to be the author of the famous Targum Onkelos (c. 110 CE).
Targum Onkelos (or Unkelus), is the official eastern (Babylonian) targum (Aramaic translation) to the Torah. However, its early origins may have been western, in
Israel
. Its authorship is attributed to Onkelos,
אונקלוס
, a famous convert to Judaism in Tannaic times (c.35–120 a.d). According to Jewish tradition, the content of Targum Onkelos was originally conveyed by God to Moses at
Mount Sinai
. However, it was later forgotten by the masses, and rerecorded by Onkelos.
