Excerpt from Catalogue of the Hebrew and Samaritan Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 1
An account of the work previously in connection with the Catalogue of the Hebrew MSS. in the British Museum will be given in the General Introduction prefixed to the third volume. For the present it need only be remarked that about half the following three hundred and forty descriptions were originally written by my predecessor, Dr. R. Hoerning. I have, however, made a complete and independent examination of every Ms. described, and I have endeavoured throughout to give a fuller and clearer insight into the many difficult problems connected with Hebrew, and more especially Hebrew-Arabic, bibliography.
The proofs of the first portion of this volume have been read by the well-known Masoretic scholar, Dr. C. D. Ginsburg; and in revising the descriptions dealing with both Rabbanite and Karaite Commentaries, I have been most ably and most kindly assisted by Dr. S. Poznariski , to whose brilliant and accurate scholarship I am indebted not only for the correction of various mistakes, but also for many additional remarks and a number of helpful references to both printed works and rare manuscripts.
