Suspicious Mechika

By -
It may be a bit hard to see, but there is a mechika on the second line of Vehoyah. starts after the Lamed of LeAhavah and goes to the end of the line. How and why would this be done without a mechikas HaShem or shelo kisidran? (the daled and vav at the end of the line are not touching)

    Could be that he wrote something else entirely by accident - that did not have shaimos - then realised when he got to the next line and erased the words he wrote in error.

    Alternatively (but unlikely) he had the shemos removed by an expert who can be kolef them halachically. While this is usually done by sefer Torah (so as not to loose the yeriya) I know it is sometimes done in Mezuzos and parshiyos...

    Again, this is unlikely, most likely it's the first scenario...

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
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 ...
