The most famous among these is a fragment from the Dead Sea Scrolls containing chapters 81 to 85 from the Book of Psalms: fragments from the scrolls have been in Canada on only two other occasions. The exhibition will have an Assyrian cuneiform tablet from the seventh century BCE that describes treatments for eye ailments, a first edition Copernicus, and several texts by Maimonides, including one with marginal notes by Martin Luther. Also featured, in a rare Latin translation, is an Arabic medical book written by a Jew, demonstrating the international and inter-faith nature of the medieval scientific endeavour. 606 $aJewish scientists$xEarly works to 1800$vBibliography$vExhibitions 606 $aScience$vEarly works to 1800$vBibliography$vExhibitions 606 $aJews$xMedicine$xEarly works to 1800$vBibliography$vExhibitions 606 $aHebrew imprints$vExhibitions 606 $aManuscripts, Hebrew$vExhibitions 606 $aJewish illumination of books and manuscripts$vExhibitions 615 0$aJewish scientists$xEarly works to 1800 615 0$aScience 615 0$aJews$xMedicine$xEarly works to 1800 615 0$aHebrew imprints 615 0$aManuscripts, Hebrew 615 0$aJewish illumination of books and manuscripts 676 $a509 700 $aLevy$b B.
