1  Introduction

The entries have been distributed according to nation and location. Catalogues covering more than one library are listed separately, with references in the entry of the location. Due to the eclectic nature, as well as slow growth of this list, there are many bibliographical inconsistencies to be noted, for which I apologise.

Readers are kindly invited to send their comments on this list to

It is hoped that the list will soon be updated. For further information, see http://sites.huji.ac.il/jnul/imhm/ and

The Biblioteca Nacional and the Biblioteca de Ajuda in Lisbon contain the most important collections of Hebrew MSS in Portugal. A bundle of slips called ``Orientalia'' may reveal additional MSS ``of which nothing but the bare shelf-mark and a conjecture as to the language is given'' (Pearson). According to B.

A great part of the private collection of Dr. Moses Gaster has been purchased in 1925; a hand-written list exists in the Students' Room. The remaining part of this collection has been acquired by the John Rylands Library in Manchester. Furthermore 43 Hebrew and 1 Aramaic MSS have been acquired since the publication of Volume 4. The Samaritan MSS have not been described.
     The best method to find what has not been classified in Margoliouth's catalogue is to take the classed inventory (Oriental Reading-Room). Look for the material which has appeared after Margoliouth. Then look for the numbers of those MSS in the List of Oriental MSS (several volumes).
