Mar 1, 2015 at 2:00 comment added Double AA @NoachmiFrankfurt He wrote two different editions and IIRC he changed his mind about this point or something related. Worth checking if you can.
Mar 1, 2015 at 1:47 comment added Noach MiFrankfurt @DoubleAA, a nearly illegible one from Hebrew Books. I actually don't recall which.
Mar 1, 2015 at 1:04 comment added Double AA What edition of Keset are you using?

Feb 15, 2015 at 17:58 comment added Noach MiFrankfurt @Gary, I suspect that that Temple Torah was not created for serving as a halachic sefer, rather it was made to use for corrections, along with the other sifrei Torah in Bayit Sheni. I also doubt that they would have used a gold pen. In the ME, it is still common to use reeds (Sephardim only use them and Muslims use them for their calligraphy, I actually have some reed pens from an Arabic calligraphy course I took [my final was comparing Hebrew and Arabic calligraphy, esp. Sta"m :)])
Feb 15, 2015 at 17:34 comment added Gary @Noach mi Frankfurt Thanks! I always wondered what the actual Torahs were written with way back when. The Letter of Aristeas says that the Law-one of the Temple copies- was written in letters of gold(which is against halacha I think?), so way back when they might've used gold pens for gold leaf ink...then again, there's probably a fair amount of "artistic license" in the Letter...
Feb 15, 2015 at 14:14 comment added Noach MiFrankfurt @Gary, I would assume so
Feb 15, 2015 at 6:32 comment added Gary ...so a gold nib calligraphy pen would be ok then?!??
Feb 13, 2015 at 2:35 comment added sam it could be that the minhag is not to use metal nowaydays
Feb 13, 2015 at 2:34 comment added Double AA I only know of a halachic issue with building altars with iron...
