Abstract

Among the approximately two thousand manuscripts of the Guenzburg collection at Moscow which have recently been filmed on behalf of the Institute of Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts, about three dozen contain medical treatises. Of these, six display works of singular importance whose existence and contents have not yet been brought to the attention of scholars. The purpose of this article is to describe these new materials in some detail. We shall provide a full account of all six codices, but we shall give the most attention, including ample quotations, to the new materials.
