Strack, Hermann L. (Ed.) Der Babylonische Talmud. Nach der Einzigen Vollständigen Handschrift München Codex Hebraicus 95 [facsimile of the Munich Codex]

(TALMUD, BABYLONIAN).

Leiden

1912

Two large volumes. Printed on regal paper.

Colossal fascsimile of the monumental Munich Codex, the earliest complete manuscript of the entire Babylonian Talmud. It is the only recorded manuscript of the Talmud to have survived the wide-spread destruction of books in 15th-century Spain and 16th-century Italy. Needless to say, the manuscript contains numerous and significant textual variants from the printed edition. It formed the basis of R.N.N. Rabinovicz’s important “Dikdukei Sofrim.”
