MAIMONIDES MANUSCRIPTS ONLINE

To mark the 800th anniversary of the death of medieval Jewish
philosopher Moses Maimonides, a number of his manuscripts and rare
early editions of his works have been digitized and made available
online by the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem,
Israel.

Of great interest to a small number of readers, the texts are
written in Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic (Arabic written in Hebrew
letters) and include some in the author's own hand.  A free ActiveX
viewer (available at the site) is needed to view the manuscripts,
which are posted in the DjVu format.  See:
