Primary Textual Witnesses to Tannaitic Literature
The database is part of an extensive project under the directorship of Prof. Shamma Friedman, whose objective is to enable access online to an electronic searchable transcription of all the primary textual witnesses to Tannaitic Literature. This project is funded by the The Naftal - Yoffe Center for the Study and Dissemination of Oral Law, under the auspices of the Bar Ilan University - Faculty for Jewish Studies. Currently online are the Mekhilta Database and the Tosefta Databse. The Mekhilta Textual Witnesses Database includes all extant manuscripts: Ms Oxford, Ms Munich, Ms Vatican, Ms Cansantana, the Constantinople editio princep, and transcriptions of all Geniza Fragments and European binding fragments. The Database also includes a chart of comparison between the Constantinople editio princep and the Venice edition of 1545. The Tosefta Textual Witnesses Database includes all extant manuscripts: Ms Vienna, Ms Erfurt, Ms London, the Venice editio princep and transcriptions of all Geniza Fragments and European binding fragments. The database also includes a Catalogue of all the Fragments divided by tractates; the fragments are joined to reconstruct original copies.

Online Treasury of Talmudic Manuscripts (Jewish National and University Library)
The Jewish National and University Library, David and Fela Shapell Family Digitization Project and the Hebrew University Department of Talmud are happy to present to the public the Online Treasury of Talmudic Manuscripts. This project brings together images of major Talmudic manuscripts from libraries throughout the world. The manuscripts are indexed to enable access by standard citation (tractate, daf and amud for the Talmud Bavli, and tractate, chapter and mishna for the Mishna). As the manuscripts are entirely in Hebrew and Aramaic, the navigation tools of this site are in Hebrew. It is best viewed under Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Explorer version 5 or higher.
