Digitisation & Editions

Note

The Montefiore Endowment is the last recorded holder of this manuscript, and is listed in scholarship as its current location; however, it was sold to a private collection at auction c. 2004.

In his catalogue, Hirschfield mistakenly refers to this text as 'Bidpai's Fables' (p. 150), the title usually given to Kalilah wa Dimna in Hebrew contexts.

Note: Gibbosi is missing in this text, as it is in Group B.
