I've learned about this, but this is the first time I've ever seen this
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.
Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
How old is this?
ReplyDeleteat least 150 years old
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful and rare...given it's age it should be sold for way above the market value because of this distinct feature.
ReplyDeletePS LOVE the broken-back פ (which the mishnat sofrim abhors and goes to lengths to say everything EXCEPT for calling it פסול...another indication of it's age-- post WWI one doesn't really see פ's like this sans for סופרים בורים
ReplyDeletea bout the פ, see here

Seen the suspended words a couple of times in Sifrey. Always interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently writing a megillah for personal use. May I make such a teliya? The sefarim seem to permit it but there must be some reason no one does it anymore.
