This introduction to Hebrew manuscripts, the first ever to be published in English, initiates the reader into the intriguing world of Hebrew manuscripts, it explains how manuscripts were written in the Middle Ages and shows why they are important for Torah and Jewish scholarship today. The profuse illustrations, many in full color, and specimens of Hebrew writings testify to the great variety of Hebrew scripts throughout the world and to the splendid beauty of Jewish illuminated manuscripts.Part of the book describes the search for ancient Hebrew books throughout the centuries and relates some of the stories behind the major collections of the world.

The editor, Rabbi Avraham Shoshana, director and founder of Ofeq Institute, is a renowned scholar specializing in bringing to light Rabbinic texts from unknown manuscripts in critically annotated editions.This book was originally published in 1990
