I've recently found this book in an ancient tomb. Does anyone know what this book is?

    Here I can't upload the video, because its volume is more than 1 Mb. Do you have telegram messenger to send it there?

    Good thing you didn't. An ancient tomb in the Middle East doesn't sound legit to me, even if it is a later (but still antique) book.

    It appears the title page is missing. Would you be kind enough to post a photograph of the binding?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I don't know the full answer, but most of the videos posted here are linked to a video site such as YouTube or Vimeo. You could create an account and upload it there, and then link it. OR, others may know of other ways to do it.

    No one here trusts Telegram. Too many scammers use it. That said, Pictures have to be under 1MB to be uploaded in a file. If you're on a phone, email them to yourself and save as Medium or some such. Size 640x480 is the usual. Upload the saved files.

    I don't think a video will be necessary.

    This illustration from Bob's book,

    with the Star of David at the bottom, is probably a later version of one that was first published in Warsaw in 1884 -

    Printing blocks/plates were frequently copied or reworked for later publications. I have found a few examples of the version with the Star of David dating to the first decade of the 20th century -
