Use the filters to browse dates and manuscript categories, or search by Kennicott number, Ktiv number, title, notes, shelfmark, or catalogue reference.
This interactive key is based on Idan Dershowitz and Nachum Dershowitz, “Key according to ‘Kennicott number’ with links to Ktiv catalog (and many digitized manuscripts)”.
Each number in this key is the manuscript number Benjamin Kennicott used in his collation. This is different from the Bodleian Library's shelfmark numbering (for example, “MS Kennicott 1”).
