DRBR 4: In which lights are bidden to shine

[hatam_soferet]

Somewhere in drawer 4, but I didn’t note the reference. Two little snippets, today.

One random prettything:

Note how you can take segments of the image and stick them together to make a slightly different look.

The other thing is vocabulary; often you see נ”י after a name, and it’s clearly an honorific, but I’ve never been quite sure what it means. Someone said “Maybe Ner Yisrael?” (Light of Israel) but here it’s Nero Yair (his light should shine). I should have noted the reference for time and place. Oh well.

I've always wondered what Nun"Yud stood for. Thanks for posting this! (Also would be fascinated to know the time and place of that manuscript, if you should happen to come across it again, being a Wertheim[er] myself.)

I'm amused at the way Dreamwidth reports this comment as being from an anonymous person who has given his first name and surname...

Well, it looks eighteenth-century, based on the paper and print. I meant to look at the internal database when I was there today, but forgot, but I'll try and remember when I'm there Thursday; it might have "Wertheimer" in the record.
