Yemenite Miniature Shechita Manuscript. Rare 19th-century Yemenite Jewish manuscript dealing with the laws of shechita (ritual slaughter), in Hebrew on paper in a compact, portable format for personal or instructional use. Bound in its original printed cloth boards, the booklet exhibits heavy wear, loss, insect damage, and water or age staining throughout, consistent with long use in a warm climate and daily handling. Numerous pages show worming, softened edges, and fading of ink, though text remains legible in multiple sections. The interior retains extensive manuscript content, with handwriting reflecting regional Yemenite scribal style. Ownership notations and early marginal markings are present.
