An Italian rabbi’s letter to King Henry VIII concerning the
Tudor monarch’s effort to annul the first of his six marriages, a
16th-century spellbook, and what is believed to be the earliest dated
copy of the “Guide for the Perplexed” by Moses Maimonides are among
the Jewish treasures featured in a Hebrew manuscripts exhibition at
the British Library.

The exhibition, which is available online for virtual visitors around
the globe and will open for in-person viewing beginning December 3,
showcases around 40 of the roughly 3,000 Hebrew manuscripts held by
the UK’s national library.
