Containing Section 1, The Holy Scriptures And Section 2,
Commentaries On The Bible.
This catalogue, prepared in two parts between 1876 and 1878 and
reissued here in one volume, analyses ninety-eight Hebrew
manuscripts held at Cambridge University Library. Wonderfully
discursive, lively and opinionated, it is the crowning achievement
of Solomon Marcus Schiller-Szinessy (1820-90), the first Jewish
scholar appointed by Cambridge to teach Talmudic and Rabbinic
literature. Assessing not only the contents of the manuscripts, the
work also examines their ownership, scribal marks and marginalia,
authorship and textual traditions. The first part analyses
seventy-two biblical scrolls, codices and commentaries, including
thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Sefardi Bibles and outstanding
editions of commentaries by Abraham ibn Ezra and Rashi, along with
lesser-known but significant commentators. The second part, which
was never formally published, examines a further twenty-six
rabbinic manuscripts, including the famous Cambridge Mishnah - one
of only three complete Mishnaic manuscripts.
