He was responsible for part 4 of the Catalogue of Hebrew and Samaritan Manuscripts in the British Museum (1935), published a facsimile edition of a unique British Museum manuscript of Zechariah b. Judah Aghmati's digest of commentaries on the three Bava tractates of the Babylonian Talmud (1961), and prepared the second part of a catalog of Hebrew manuscripts in the Cambridge University Library (unpublished). ***** ***** Shipping: I ship daily Monday through Friday and sometimes on Saturdays.
