SOME HEBREW MANUSCRIPTS FROM THE VATICAN are on display in the Israel Museum:
Rare manuscripts from Vatican go on display at Israel Museum
By Nadav Shragai (Ha'aretz)

The Vatican library has loaned the Israel Museum four illuminated Jewish manuscripts from the 13th and 15th centuries, which will be on exhibit to the public for the next four months.

The manuscripts include a 15th-century manuscript of Maimonides' Mishne Torah, a 15th-century manuscript of Rabbi Jacob ben Asher's Arba'ah Turim, a 13th-century manuscript of the Bible, and a 13th-century book of Psalms.

[...]

And happy 40th birthday to the Museum!
