My current scholarly work is centered on several Hebrew manuscript sources. A significant part of my investigation involves the study of their codicological features, marginalia, reading marks, and annotations. By analyzing these interventions, I aim to reconstruct the history of each manuscript, its transmission and its reception over centuries. In the following, I list the items currently under study with some illustrations.
– London, British Library, Manuscript Or. 6636: Damaged copy
– Oxford, Bodleian Library, Manuscript Mich. 113: Marginal notes
– Washington, Library of Congress, Manuscript Heb. 183: Readers annotations
– Saint-Petersburg, Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, the Russian Academy of Sciences, Manuscript B 234: Lacunae
– Saint-Petersburg, Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, the Russian Academy of Sciences, Manuscript B 155: Revision process
– Oxford, Bodleian Library, Manuscript Hunt 529: Liturgical annotations
– Jerusalem, National Library of Israel, Manuscript Heb. 8°6453: Cultural context examination and marginalia
