For some five hundred years, Hebrew books have been counted among the treasures of the University of Cambridge, and Cambridge University Library's current holdings of Hebrew manuscripts (excluding its Genizah collections) are in excess of a thousand items. A wide range of Hebrew literature is represented, with substantial numbers in Bible, Bible Versions and Commentaries, Talmud, Halakhah, Liturgy, Science, Poetry, Philosophy and Kabbalah. The bulk of the material is late mediaeval, but there are also earlier items. This volume represents the first successful attempt to publish descriptions that will guide researchers in codicological matters and alert them to data of special scholarly significance, without overwhelming them with a mass of unnecessary detail. It includes many references to recent publications, as well as a representative selection of photographed folios.
