on 02026-04-09The rules for would-be scribes copying the #Torah. “Between lines there must be left the space of a line, between words the space of a letter, between letters that of a hairbreadth, and between columns the space of the width of a thumb. (...) A sheet of a Torah scroll must contain not less than three columns and not more than eight. (...) The width of a column [in a Torah scroll] must be such as to be recognizable at one glance, and in a small scroll not less than a handbreadth. R. Jose b. Judah says: It must not be less than the width of three fingers. (...) Half the length [of a column] must not be greater than its width, nor its width greater than half its length, but they must be exactly alike, and this is the most correct procedure.” #Judaism
