VALUABLE HEBREW MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION TO BE DIGITIZED

Almost Heaven

Later today, the National Library of Israel (NLI), on the campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, will host the signing of an historic agreement between the host organization, the Russian State Library in Moscow, and the Moscow-based Peri Foundation regarding the future of the Günzburg Collection. The collection includes some of the most important Hebrew manuscripts and books in the world.

While the originals will remain in Russia, with the help of the Peri Foundation, around 2,000 manuscripts and thousands of books will be digitized and subsequently made accessible to researchers and other interested parties around the world, via the NLI’s web site.

This is also quite a feather in the NLI’s hat as it progresses towards construction of a new state-of-the-art facility near the Knesset, which is due to open its doors to the public in 2020.

Thank goodness! Many of these manuscripts have great value for Christian historical research. Including regarding prophecy. Not that we need anything more than the Bible, but it's always fun when liberal theologians get egg on their face from an ancient manuscript that dashes their theories back into dust! This could be a trove. No doubt a mixed blessing, as some of these will prove to be trash, but there will be plenty there to buttress the position of Bible believing saints I am sure.
