Published in 1803, this is the third part of a three-volume descriptive catalogue of the Hebrew codices in the personal library of Giovanni Bernardo De Rossi (1742-1831), professor of oriental languages at the University of Parma. Each codex is numbered and its contents briefly described in Latin. Volume 3 features descriptions of codices 859-1, 377 as well as an appendix of his codices in other languages. De Rossi was an important collector of manuscripts and incunabula, and an authority on Hebrew typography and textual variants. The Hebrew manuscripts described in this catalogue were obtained as a result of his exhaustive researches into variant readings of the Old Testament, the results of which he published as Variae Lectiones Veteris Testamenti (1784-8). He also produced groundbreaking studies of printed Hebrew texts, and a catalogue of Jewish anti-Christian polemics, Bibliotheca Judaica Antichristiana (also reissued in this series). | Mss.
