'The fascinating story of the Genizah collection of manuscripts reflects its fascinating contents. … This new volume of the Cambridge Genizah Series constitutes another reference work for scholars of Jewish studies and, more specifically, those interested in this collection of manuscripts. It reflects the efficient and indeed exemplary exploitation of a manuscript collection that modern times require.' Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society
