Catalogue of the Hebrew Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library and in the College Libraries of Oxford

In 1886 the Clarendon Press published Adolf Neubauer's Catalogue of the Hebrew Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library and in the College Libraries of Oxford , a work of vast erudition. It described what was then the largest and most significant collection of medieval and pre-modern Hebrew manuscripts in the world. It has been an indispensable reference tool ever since for research based on primary sources. Out of print since 1935 and accessible only in large libraries, Volume I has now been reissued and is once more available. At the same time advantage has been taken of a century of study and research to compile a separate Supplement of Addenda and Corrigenda to Volume I of Neubauer's Catalogue , in which errors are corrected, previously unknown authorship of manuscript works is now identified, and studies and editions of many of the manuscripts are recorded. One of the great advances in scholarship has been in the field of Hebrew palaeography and codicology, and a special feature of the Supplement is the up-to-date information provided by Professor Malachi Beit-Ari 'e for the entire corpus of the 2,602 numbers in the collection. [NB. Volume I records all the codices.
This book is intended for scholars and researchers in the field of Hebrew studies and Judaism.
