Some considerable time ago I had a hunch that all the Hebrew alphabet was to be found as large letters within Torah and not just Tanach as is established in the Mesorah - this hunch came out of seeing lots of different sifrey with variant traditions. I couldn't find the one with the letters 'kaf'. However I then read a section from Mishnat Avraham that confirmed where all the large letters were supposed to be (plus some variants) and lo and behold they matched the various ones I had collected (see my website http://www.sofer.co.uk/html/large_letters.html) fixing sifrey over the years. Anyway, collecting these all up I've done a little bit of 'large letter art'. Wouldn't it be cool if all sifrey torah used all the large letters not just the ones that were fixed and agreed by all?
