In the 1800-1900s my family was well renowned in Poland for their megilleh.
The elder artisanal was Soyfer from Ryki, his son was Avrom and the last artisan was Fishl.
They would inscribed prayer books and Torah for hassadic rabbis that were praised for their decoration above the lines and fine inks. They also were able to “covert skin to white parchment as fine as paper” with Avrom and Fishl being particularly renowned for their craft.
I also seek a Talmud Vilnius bound by Leyzner.
I know the Holocaust destroyed most of these things, but does anyone have any idea how I could Go about finding Jewish antiques in Eastern Europe?
If anyone has any leads or any information on any of the names mentioned please reach out.
