This image presents a close-up view of two Jewish parchments placed one on top of the other, displaying different types of Torah script. The top parchment features a handwritten page from the Torah, written in the traditional Hebrew "Ktav Stam" script. The black ink contrasts sharply with the parchment, highlighting the precise and carefully crafted letters. The script is characterized by its distinct calligraphic style, which is commonly used for sacred Jewish texts. Beneath it lies another page, this one showing a printed biblical Torah page in "Ktav Rashi" script, a semi-cursive Hebrew typeface used primarily for commentaries. The difference in script style between the Ktav Stam and Ktav Rashi is evident, with the Rashi script appearing more rounded and less formal compared to the bold, structured appearance of Ktav Stam. The layered arrangement of these parchments provides a glimpse into the rich tradition of Jewish scriptural writing and textual study, emphasizing the reverence for the sacred text and its various forms of transmission.
