[Heb-NACO] To Heidi L./ Jasmin Sh re.: Cairene purim scroll

[Jay Rovner]

I am looking at this item from the perspective a manuscript, since I am recataloging our manuscript of version A. Hary provides Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic transcriptions of “version A,” and a Hebrew transcription of “version B.” He begins each transcription with a title from a manuscript source, two Hebrew forms and one Judeo-Arabic.

Hi Jay,



Before I try to respond to your question I will need to take a look at the book. I will retrieve it from the shelves later today.



It does appear that are two other editions that have been published



1914 - מגלת פורים אל מצריין or מגלת פורים מצרים



ULI records catalog this with language notes "mostly in Judeo-Arabic; and also Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic.



1997 - ספר מגלת פורים מצרים - contains  Hebrew and Arabic [Judeo-Arabic?] versions



I can't locate any copies of these in the U.S..



Best, Heidi

__ |a Hary, B.H. Multiglossia in Judeo-Arabic, 1992: |b CIP t.p. (the Cairene Purim scroll) p. ix (Megilat Purim al Miṣriyin [in Heb]) p. xiv (Megillat Pūrīm il-Miṣriyyīn; The Purim scroll of the Cairene Jewish community)




LC established the above title according to a judeo arabic reading. However, B. Hary himself acknowledges that it is a translation of the Hebrew. Shouldn’t the title be set up in Hebrew, with refs from Judeo-Arabic?
