History
Origin
The Torah scroll may have been maculated in Poland, where the three books bound toghether in the host volume were printed in 1615-1618. It may thus be of Polish origin.
Provenance
The three books bound together in the host volume were printed in 1615-1618 in Raków, an important Unitarian centre in Poland, from which several books were imported to Cluj.
