Abstract

The documents stored in the Department of Judaic Department of Institute of Manuscripts of the National Library of Ukraine are catalogues and lists of manuscripts and include about 75 units of the fund 321, listing 5. To give more precise number is difficult, because the said description includes about two dozen documents that are bibliographical materials, which featured hand-written lists of materials of different formats. By a form the nearest to the catalogues are the listings of manuscripts of the 1st and 2nd collections of Firkovych written by Abraham Harkavy (9 units). Bibliographic materials on various groups of document also written by Harkavy which are obviously from the same collection, for example, list of philosophical treatises of the mentioned above Firkovych collection of manuscripts from Chufut-kale containing the number of Jewish and Karaite manuscripts, catalogue of Samaritan manuscripts from the same collection of Firkovych, description of manuscripts from Saint Petersburg, manuscript notes, descriptions and epitome of the manuscript collection of archimandrite Antonin. A Harkavy collection is composed from various lists of manuscripts and printed books etc. The manuscripts from collection of Hebrew manuscripts of the archives of Harkavy and two small volumes of documents prepared by A. Firkovych describing manuscripts found in Kafa and Old Synagogue in Chufut-kale in the first half of the nineteenth century are also present. It is worth mentioning also the descriptions of various manuscript collections, the authorship of which needs to be resolved, such as the catalogue of manuscripts of Kaufman’s collection and lists of manuscripts compiled by different authors. Manuscripts listed in these directories and descriptions, now are stored in different libraries and collections around the world. Some of these sources are likely lost forever. Especially valuable are their descriptions and catalogues, because they contain handwritten information about sources that are otherwise impossible to obtain.
