Dear TC-List Members

Richard Weis has recommended a book by Prof. Beit-AriŽ.  A more recent 
collection of his work is his very helpful

<<The Makings of the Medieval Hebrew Book: studies in palaeography and 
codicology>>
The Magnes Press, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 1993
ISBN 965-223-804-X
- distributed by The Magnes Press, P.O. Box 7695, Jerusalem 91076.

It is particularly useful for learning criteria to date medieval Hebrew mss and 
to determine their original locations.  If it is not already covered in the 
electronic journal, I highly recommend it.  Codicology is lacking in most Hebrew
programs I have seen.  This book begins to fill the gap.
