            Hebrew Manuscripts in the Biblioteca Palatina in Parma
                                 Catalogue

The first comprehensive catalogue of all the Hebrew manuscripts in the
collections of the Biblioteca Palatina in Parma.

The Parma library boasts one of the largest collections of Hebrew
manuscripts in Europe - close to 1600 codices - the great majority of
them dating to the Middle Ages. The collection is particularly rich in
Biblical manuscripts (500 MSS), biblical exegesis (200), talmudic and
halakhic works (200), liturgy (250), philosophy (150), kabbalah (100),
and sciences (75).

The manuscripts were described by the staff of the Institute of
Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts in the Jewish National and University
Library. The catalogue was edited by the director of the Institute,
Benjamin Richler. Paleographical and codicological descriptions were
prepared by Prof. Malachi Beit-Arie, Director of the Hebrew Palaeography
Project.

The catalogue descriptions are in English; the headings and most titles are in
both English and Hebrew and colophons and owners' entries are copied in the
original Hebrew with the gist in English.

The catalogue is a large quarto hardbound volume of 688 pages and
includes 16 colour plates and over 30 black and white plates.
Publication date: October 2001.

Price:  $130 (for airmail add $25).  In Israel: 450 IS
