Catalogue of the Hebrew and Samaritan Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 2

George Margoliouth

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Hebrew and Samaritan Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 2

The arrangement of the two longer series of mss. Described in this volume will enable the student to obtain a clear view of any section in which he may be specially interested.

In the case of Commentaries, legal Compendia, &c., the dates of authorship have been taken as a guide in the arrangement of the mss. The earlier Midrashim follow the order of the Biblical Books to which they belong, and Talmudical mss. Are arranged in the usual order of tractates. In the descriptions of the Liturgies one or more representative codices are placed at the head of their respective sections or sub sections, and the mss. That follow are, whenever needful, compared with these standard types.

In the enumeration of the hymns contained in the liturgical codices care has been taken to give the direct evidence as to authorship, occasion of use, 850 afforded by the headings or marginal notes. When the ms. Itself contains no direct evidence on these points, a distinction has been made between the pieces given in Zunz, Literaturgeschichte der Synagogalen Poesie, and those not mentioned in that work. In the first case only variations from the known forms of the pieces have, as a rule, been noticed, but in the last an effort has been made to ascertain the authorship by means of the acrostics or other literary evidence.
