"Heb. 5703/2a Commentary on the Mishnah National Library of Israel, Jerusalem Reflectography Iron-gall ink"
Remarks
Autograph of the Commentary on the Mishnah. This manuscript is also discussed in Beit-Arie's Hebrew Codicology (p. 166, note a). The identification of iron-gall ink here contributes to the observation that Maimonides chose inks based on cost or availability at his location.
