Descrizione
Riepilogo:This article studies an unpublished Geniza manuscript which has been described by several scholars as the Sefer Haminhagot by Asher ben Saul of Lunel; it is currently owned by the Jewish Theological Seminary Library. The study includes the following: a description of the physical evidence of the manuscript copy; a facsimile, transcription and translation; a correction and reconstruction of the JTS pagination; an analysis of the text's sources and style; a comparison of the Geniza text and the Cambridge manuscript of Sefer Haminhagot published by Simḥah Assaf. The contrast between the Geniza text and the published Haminhagot leads to the conclusion that the manuscript is indeed not Haminhagot. While the name of the author and the title of the work must presently remain unknown, a provenance of Italy of the 13th or 14th century seems likely. The appendix presents a second unpublished manuscript reported to be Sefer Haminhagot now in the Ben-Zvi Institute Library. Analysis of this copy proves that it is Haminhagot and that it provides a supplement to the Cambridge manuscript. I. History, Facsimile, Transcription and Translation of the Geniza Fragment 1 II.
