WHAT IS THE HEBREW BOOK?
Dead Sea Scrolls Genizah (fragments)
Manuscripts Printed Books
The Hebrew Book
The Book of Moses
According to Tradition, Just
before the revelation at Sinai, Moses wrote everything that had transpired up until that point. Moses would transcribe each of these portions as a small scroll.
Shortly before his death, he combined all these portions to form the Torah that we have today.
Book of Moses Deposited in Temple
According to tradition, before his death, Moses wrote 13 Torah scrolls. Twelve of these were given to the 12 tribes. The thirteenth was placed in the Ark of the Covenant. This was eventually deposited in the Holy of Holies in the Temple.
The Dead Sea Scrolls
The most ancient Torah scrolls have been found near the Dead Sea, in Israel. They are known to be the Dead Sea Scrolls. Some of the scrolls are more than two thousand years old!
The Cairo Bible
After the Dead Sea Scrolls,
the earliest dated Hebrew manuscript is a Bible which was found in the Cairo Karaite Synagogue from the year 895.
Hebrew Manuscripts around the world
Additionally, experts estimate that there are
about 75,000 Hebrew books in manuscript form.
Hebrew Printed Books
In 1440, Johannes Gutenberg
invented the printing press.
By 1455, Gutenberg was able
to print his Bible.
The first Hebrew book
was printed in 1470
How many Hebrew printed books are there?
The Hebrew Bibliography Project
associated with the National Library of Israel, has registered 141,000 books,
published between 1470 and 1960.
However, the unique number
is much smaller (< 100,000), since many books have been published several times.
So, how many books?
We estimate that about 250,000 additional unique Hebrew books have been published since 1960.
Overall, about 350,000 unique Hebrew books have been
published since the invention of printing press.
National library Current Plan
50,000 Hebrew manuscripts
50,000 books from 15th-20th centuries
Several thousands copyrighted books
The Hebrew Book: Potential Sources
Microfilm was the best way to preserve copies of manuscripts.
But the quality and accessibility are very poor.
