Ancient Hebrew Manuscript Fragments

MANY of our readers may have seen the absurd statement that the original manuscript of the Pentateuch had been found somewhere in Arabia. The truth, on which the falsehood was based, is that Dr. Harkavy, of the Imperial Library at St. Petersburg, Russia, has come into possession of some fragments of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, "written in characters quite different from those contained in all known manuscripts and inscriptions." Dr. Harkavy will publish the fragments which will be reproduced by photograph.—S. S. Times.
