Moritz Steinschneider (1816 1907) is regarded as one of the
founding fathers of the study of modern Judaism, and his work is
still relevant today. Steinschneider's studies encompassed
traditional Jewish subjects as well as classical and Semitic
languages and cultures. He belonged to a small group of scholars
who changed the scope of Jewish learning from that of rabbinics to
a broader view of Jewish civilisation. Steinschneider also sought
to provide a complete and accurate record of printed publications
of Hebraica and Judaica. In this 1878 publication, Steinschneider
lists all the Hebrew manuscripts held in the Hamburg State Library.
He divides the manuscripts into thirteen categories, including
homiletics, prayers, the Kabbalah, and theology and philosophy.
Also represented are poetry, rhetoric, mathematics and medicine.
Steinschneider also comments on each manuscript and evaluates the
significance of the Hamburg collection compared to other German
library collections.
