Jewish Studies. This academic year (2021-22) the
John Rylands Research Institute
will complete the online cataloguing of the codices in Hebrew script in
the Rylands Library Manchester. Most of these manuscripts once belonged
to Moses Gaster, who, with modest resources, assembled one of the most
remarkable collections of Hebrew manuscripts of the 20th century. To
mark the occasion the John Rylands Research Institute and the Manchester
University Centre for Jewish Studies are hosting a series of seminars
in autumn 2021 and spring 2022 which will explore aspects of the Rylands
Gaster collection, and related collections. The first seminar will be
Dr Zsofia Buda “The Rylands Gaster Codices and the problems of
cataloguing them” and Dr Maria Cioata, “Moses Gaster: The Man and His
Collections”. 2.00-3.30pm, 19 Oct 2021, online.
