Excerpt from Catalogue of the Hebrew and Samaritan Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 1 The nine photographic plates at the end of this volume have been selected partly with the object of illustrating fresh or striking points of ancient calligraphy, and partly in order to show examples of specially famous mss. To the latter class belong Or. 4445 (the earliest known Oopy of the Hebrew Pentateuch), and Or. 6518 (the Hebrew text of Ecclesiasticus found at Cairo).
