Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן. Nor are we interested in those who said to use עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is דיו עשן of good quality that does not ...
I should think they have the same din
ReplyDeleteI would think that (possibly depending on the level of psul) that the klaf would be better.
ReplyDeleteMB (או״ח רפד) brings the levush who had the הוה אמינא to pasel any keriat haftarah that wasn't written like a Sefer Torah, and that the taz and Magen Avraham seemingly accepted the minhag to read from a print. However MB says he thinks the MA was machshir the Keria if it was from a complete printing of navi - not just the haftarot we have at the back of our chumashim. MB concludes that if one only has a printed Chumash with haftarot it's ok but it's proper to have a klaf, as was the gra's minhag etc.
Based on this of levush and MB's qualification of the MA and on the fact that rambam holds you are yotzei a Keria from a Sefer Pasul - I would think that depending on the Pesul, a klaf would be better than a printed Chumash. A printed navi is better than a printed Chumash. A kosher klaf of navi is best.
The Sheila is - is a klaf with pesulim better than a whole printed navi?
I'm not sure what the minhag in most places is but I assume that their haftara Klafim is just the haftarot - not the whole of navi. In that case - perhaps even one could argue that a whole printed navi is at least equal to a klaf of just the haftarot?
Thoughts?
