Halakhah for Menachot 51:7
כחצי זית בשר וכחצי זית חלב אינו זורק את הדם ובעולה אפי' כחצי זית בשר וכחצי זית חלב זורק את הדם מפני שכולה כליל ובמנחה אפי' כולה קיימת לא יזרוק
is that the plate atones [for the uncleanness of the eatable portions], then the same should be the case<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That it is lawful to burn the handful.');"><sup>7</sup></span> even where the whole of the remainder [became unclean]! - Indeed he holds that what is left thereof is something of consequence, and as it is in the case where it became unclean, so it is where it was burnt or lost; the only reason, however, why [Rab] dealt with the case where it became unclean was that it was the first [mentioned in our Mishnah].
Sefer HaChinukh
And he should be careful (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Tefillin, Mezuzah and the Torah Scroll 7:8-9) about the big letters and the small letters, the dotted letters and the letters the form of which is unusual, such as the bent [letter] peh, and the twisted letters — like the scribes copied, one man from another. And he should be careful with the crowns and in their numbers — there is a letter that has one crown upon it and there is [another] letter that has seven upon it. And all of the crowns are like the form of a [letter] zayin, [that] are as thin as a strand of hair. And all of these things are only said for an ideal [fulfillment of the] commandment. And [so] if he diverged [erred] in this refinement or was not exacting with the crowns, but he wrote all the letters as fits them; or if he made the lines closer or further or lengthened them or shortened them — since he did not have one letter cling to [another] letter and he did not miss or add or destroy the form of [a single] letter, and he did not make a change in the open paragraphs (petuchot) or in the closed paragraphs (setumot), behold this is a fit Torah scroll. [These] and the rest of the details of the commandment are elucidated in Tractate Menachot [in] the third chapter, and in the first chapter of Bava Batra and in Tractate Shabbat.
