Amsterdam, Philo Press, 1970. Reprint Oxford 1887-1895 edition. Orig. cloth binding. 538 pp. 23x16 cm. (Anecdota Oxoniensia, Semitic series IV, VI) - This is a substantial corpus of medieval Jewish historical and chronological writings preserved in Hebrew manuscripts and printed sources compiled by the Hungarian-born Jewish scholar Adolf Neubauer (1831-1907). Originally issued in two Oxford volumes in 1887 and 1895, the work presents critically edited texts accompanied by manuscript variants, historical introductions, textual notes, corrections, additions, and an index. Its materials include important chronological and historiographical compositions such as the Scroll of Fasting, Seder Olam traditions, Sherira Gaon s historical epistle, Sefer Yuasin, Arabic historical material, and accounts associated with David Reubeni. Neubauer s method reflects the nineteenth-century Wissenschaft des Judentums: manuscripts are compared systematically in order to establish reliable texts and illuminate textual transmission. The edition consequently provides essential evidence for reconstructing medieval Jewish chronology, communal history, rabbinic authority, migration, persecution, and intellectual genealogy. Although subsequent scholarship has revised some readings and interpretations, Neubauer s documentary achievement remains foundational, particularly for researchers working with medieval Hebrew historiography and manuscript traditions.
