About the Authors

This volume represents the first comprehensive guide to the Hebrew manuscripts held at the Cambridge University Library. The descriptions consider the standard biblical, rabbinic and liturgical material, but also cover scientific, poetic, philosophical and mystical content. In addition the physical makeup of each manuscript is considered alongside its scholarly significance. Introductory essays are also included, together with extensive indexes, and a representative selection of photographed folios.
