The Rothschild Miscellany was commissioned by Moses ben Yekuthiel Hakohen in 1479. The original copy was in the Salomon de Parente collection in Trieste from 1832-1855, and later sold to the Rothschild family. Stolen during WWII it reappeared in New York and sold to the Jewish Theological Seminary after which it was returned to the Rothschilds. They in turn gifted it to Israel as a national treasure.
