Handwritten Order of Haftaros on Parchment. Germany, 19th Century

Haftaros for the entire year according to Ashkenazic rite, Ashkenazic manuscript on parchment.

The Mss. contains  Haftoras for all Parshioth of the year + for the holidays of Pessach Shavuoth and High Holidays 
Reading the weekly haftarah from parchment is considered a hiddur mitzvah, glorifying the mitzvah, preferable to reading it from printed text. Hence, various Ashkenazic congregations inscribed all the haftaros for the year on a parchment and read from it every Shabbos. These are the Sifrei Aftarta mentioned in Maseches Gittin 60a. (See Mishnah Berurah Ch. 284:1)

Written on hair side of parchment only.

Germany, 19th Century. Page size: 26×15 cm. 111 Leaves, good condition, new binding.
