Abstract:
This article is exclusively concerned with medieval biblical manuscripts produced in the Ashkenazi world, which reflect the culture of Jewish people living in England, northern France, and the Rhine area before 1300. It will make certain observations about what some describe as liturgical Pentateuchs, which in this study will be called “partial Bibles based on a Pentateuch-Megillot- Haftarot type of selection”. It will also share reflections that emerged while describing these manuscripts in the research database of the ANR project Manuscripta Bibliae Hebraicae (MBH), as hypotheses about the type and use of each manuscript were formulated for classification purposes. This should further help lay the groundwork for ongoing reflection on the different types of Bible in the Ashkenazi world, and in particular on the nature, place, and importance of partial Bibles in relation to other Bibles in Hebrew script produced in the medieval West.
