Page of a codex - Book of Chronicles

The beginning of the Book of Chronicles is an illustration made up of micrographic Hebrew letters: Eve holding palm leaves in front of her with one hand, and with the other offers an apple to Adam, who has only one visible hand and leg. Between them, a serpent coils on a tree. Probably, the codex had an illustration on the front pages of each book of the Bible. Each corner of Hungary’s most precious Jewish codex remnant is sharply cut off, and from the way they are creased, it becomes obvious that the original codex was dissembled and this parchment had been reused for another book as a cover.
