This article will deal with two folios from Ms. Vatican ebr. 14, a Pentateuch (with haftarot and megillot) written by Elijah ben Berekhiah ha-Nakdan in 1239. Both folios display a seven-branched candelabrum (menorah). The one on folio 104r is depicted lying on its side, while the one on folio 155v is standing upright. Both lampstands consist of masoretic material in micrographic script. The article will address both the form and content of the masorah figurata illustrations and relate them to Elijah’s overall pedagogical concept of teaching the Bible with a special emphasis on Hebrew language, grammar, and masorah. In addition, it will address the relationship between biblical text and its visualization, and it will ask whether the concept of peshaṭ exegesis was a necessary tool for visualizing biblical objects.

本文将讨论 Vatican ebr 女士的两页对开页。第 14 卷是摩西五经（带有 haftarot 和 megillot），由 Elijah ben Berekhiah ha-Nakdan 于 1239 年撰写。两对开页都展示了一个七枝烛台（烛台）。对开页 104r 上的那张被描绘为侧卧，而对开页 155v 上的那张则被描绘为直立。两个灯台均由缩微文字的马所拉材料制成。本文将讨论 Masorah Figurata 插图的形式和内容，并将它们与以利亚教授圣经的整体教学理念联系起来，特别强调希伯来语、语法和 Masorah。此外，它将讨论圣经文本与其可视化之间的关系，并将询问peshaṭ释经的概念是否是可视化圣经对象的必要工具。
