A report on the Karaite manuscripts in the library at St. Petersburg by Adolf Neubauer (1831-1907). Appended to this are 66 pages of Karaite works in Hebrew called "Sefer Apiryon Asah Lo" by Jedidiah Solomon b. Aaron of Turki and "Sefer Levush Malkhut" by Mordecai b. Nissan ha-Karaite. This volume is part of a series called Schriften hrsg. vom Institut zur Förderung der Israelitschen Literatur.

Neubauer was sub-librarian at the Bodleian Library and reader in Rabbinic Hebrew at Oxford University. Born at Bittse, Hungary, he received a thorough education in rabbinical literature, and his earliest contributions were made to the Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums and the Journal Asiatique (Dec., 1861). In 1865 he published a volume entitled Meleket ha-Shir, a collection of extracts from manuscripts relating to the principles of Hebrew versification. In 1864 Neubauer was entrusted with a mission to Saint Petersburg to examine the numerous Karaite manuscripts preserved there. As a result of this investigation he published a report, in French, and subsequently Aus der Petersburger Bibliothek (1866). But the work which established his reputation was La Géographie du Talmud (1868), an account of the geographical data scattered throughout the Talmud and early Jewish writings and relating to places in the Land of Israel.

In 1868 Neubauer's services were secured by the University of Oxford for the task of cataloging the Hebrew manuscripts in the Bodleian Library. The catalog appeared in 1886, after 18 years' preparation. The volume includes more than 2,500 entries, and is accompanied by a portfolio with forty facsimiles. While engaged on this work Neubauer published other works of considerable importance. In 1875 he edited the Arabic text of the Hebrew dictionary of Abu al-Walid (the Book of Hebrew Roots), and in 1876 published Jewish Interpretations of the Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah, which was edited by Neubauer and translated by Samuel Rolles Driver jointly in 1877. In the same year he contributed Les Rabbins Français du Commencement du XIVe Siècle to L'Histoire Littéraire de la France, though, according to the rules of the French Academy, it appeared under the name of Renan. In 1878 Neubauer edited the Aramaic text of the Book of Tobit, in 1887 the volume entitled Mediæval Jewish Chronicles (vol. ii., 1895), and in 1897, with Cowley, The Original Hebrew of a Portion of Ecclesiasticus. In 1892, together with Stern, he published a German translation of a medieval chronicle of the First Crusade, Hebräische Berichte über die Judenverfolgungen Während der Kreuzzüge.

In 1884 a readership in Rabbinic Hebrew was founded at Oxford, and Neubauer was appointed to the post, which he held for 16 years, until failing eyesight compelled his resignation in May, 1900. Neubauer's chief fame has been won as a librarian, in which capacity he enriched the Bodleian with many priceless treasures, displaying great judgment in their acquisition. He was created M.A. of Oxford in 1873, and was elected an honorary fellow of Exeter College in 1890. In the latter year he received the honorary degree of Ph.D. from the University of Heidelberg and was made an honorary member of the Real Academia de la Historia at Madrid.
