Educated in Prague, Vienna and Leipzig, Moritz Steinschneider (1816
1907) was a Jewish Bohemian orientalist with a deep understanding
of classical and Semitic languages and cultures, specialising in
bibliography. He edited twenty-one volumes of the journal
Hebraische Bibliographie from 1859 to 1882, and his 1878 catalogue
of the Hebrew manuscripts held in the Hamburg State Library is also
reissued in this series, along with his 1877 review of Arabic
polemic and apologetic literature among Muslims, Christians and
Jews. Published between 1878 and 1897, this two-volume work is a
descriptive catalogue of the Hebrew manuscripts in what is now the
Berlin State Library. In Volume 1, Steinschneider categorises and
describes 124 manuscripts. The volume also includes reproductions
