                                <p>First Firkovich Collection</p>
                                <p>(now known as RNL Yevr. I) were collected by Abraham ben Samuel Firkovich (1787-1874) on the Crimean Peninsula, in the Caucasus, and during his first trip to the Near East in 1830. This collection contains 830 manuscripts, 277 of them (numbers 554-830) being Qaraite. Even though this collection is basically a Hebrew one, it does contain 75 Arabic manuscripts, mostly containing Qaraite works (many of them biblical commentaries by Yefet ben ʿEli and Salmon b. Yeruḥim). (David Sklare, “A Guide to Collections of Karaite Manuscripts”, in</p>
                                <p>Karaite Judaism: A Guide to its History and Literary Sources</p>
                                <p>, ed. M. Polliack, Leiden: Brill, 2003, 893–924 [907]). Most of these 75 Arabic manuscripts were acquired in 1830, probably by the agency of David ben Avraham ha-Levi (Jerusalem), brother of Moshe ben Avraham ha-Levi (1810-1905, Qaraite chief rabbi in Cairo) (see Zeev Elkin / Menahem Ben-Sasson, “Abraham Firkovich and the Cairo Genizas in the Light of his Personal Archive” [Hebrew],</p>
                                <p>Peʿamim</p>
                                <p>90 (2002), 51–95, [65, n. 48]). The First Firkovich Collection was sold to the Imperial Public Library of the Russian Empire in 1862 for 100,000 silver roubles.</p>
                                <p>The Second Firkovich collection was acquired by Abraham ben Samuel Firkovich (1787-1874) during his second trip to the Near East between the years 1863 and 1865. It consists of more than 15,000 items, including Hebrew, Arabic, Judaeo-Arabic and Samaritan manuscripts. The majority of the collection appears to have originated from the Qaraite synagogue in Cairo. The Hebrew manuscripts of the Second Firkovich Collection were divided into several separate collections.</p>
                                <p>RNL Yevr. II A</p>
                                <p>Contains Hebrew works of law, exegesis, grammar and philology, theology, documents, etc. This collection contains 2,947 manuscripts. These include 896 bibliographical items (including different texts found in a single miscellany) which are Qaraite. The manuscripts are almost entirely later, Eastern European ones containing liturgical texts, piyyutim and documents.</p>
                                <p>RNL Yevr. II B</p>
                                <p>Contains biblical manuscripts written on vellum (1,582 items).</p>
                                <p>RNL Yevr. II C</p>
                                <p>Contains biblical manuscripts written on paper (728 items). Most of them are Hebrew biblical texts, but it also contains some other works, such as RNL Yevr. II C:1, a copy of Saʿadyah Gaon’s Tafsīr comprising 550 folios, copied at the end of the tenth century or the very beginning of the eleventh, or RNL Yevr. II C:725, Yefet ben ʿEli's commentary to Ezekiel.</p>
                                <p>RNL Yevr. II K</p>
                                <p>Contains 76 ketubbot, mostly Qaraite if not all. (Sklare 2003, 907).</p>
                                <p>The Judeo-Arabic manuscripts of the Second Firkovich Collection are divided into two series:</p>
                                <p>RNL Yevr.-Arab. I</p>
                                <p>(previously known as II Firk. Yevr.-Arab., First Series)</p>
