But in regard that the said jewel is locked up under two keys, one of which is kept by the magistrates, and the other by the friars, they took care to have them both brought; and produced a vast volume or roll. It is a calf-skin dressed and pliable, containing, not the book of Ezra, as many give out, but the Pentateuch, in the nature of the books still preserved in the Synagogues of the Jews : I took notice of some few marginal notes by a more modern hand.

This makes it plain, that they are much mistaken who think there are no Hebrew Bibles written above four hundred years ago. For it is four hundred years since this manuscript was presented to Aymericus, which was then looked upon as so very ancient ; and though what they say of its being written by Ezra's own hand looks like...
