Hello, certainly looks like a Torah and should contain at least the Pentateuch, the five books of Mose. That is why he is on the front cover. As to the marks - sorry, no clue. But elaborate silver bindings for the Holy Scriptures are being made in quite a few countries, believe your copy to be quite recent. Regards, Bahner

Hi,
Is it a book or a cover ? Language and letters in the book should be easily recognized.
The second letter in the mark really looks like Cyrillic ``B``, but the marks are not Russian.
As already mentioned, recently made.
Tell us more about it, please, i.e. what`s inside the cover ?
Regards

I contacted Rafi Landau and unfortunately, although he found it interesting, he claimed it was not his work. Still trying to figure this one out. I contacted the publisher of the book, but they still have not gotten back to me. Thanks for the help
