Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies Title Miscellaneous Manuscript Collection Call number MS.000 Date [bulk] 1872-1944 Date [inclusive] 1771-1992 Extent 2.6 linear feet Language English Description of Collection The Miscellaneous Manuscripts Collection is a fluid one, consisting of manuscripts that are unidentified or too small for their own collection. Each sub-collection within the group is given a Miscellaneous Manuscript Number which corresponds to the collection. Cite as: [Identification of item], in the Miscellaneous Manuscript Collection, Library at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania ARC MS 000, [Location within collection]. - Page 4 - Miscellaneous Manuscript Collection Scope and Contents Because of the nature of the collection, the contents within it vary quite a bit. Many of the folders/ collections were found during various inventories of the archives, and as they did not seem to fit into any of the existing collections, were placed here. There are a few collections, however, such as the Samuel Posnanski Collection, the Jacob Hoschander Collection, the Moise Schwab Collection, and the Joseph Zolin Collection, which contain manuscripts that were removed from the Adler Collection. All of these manuscripts or typescripts were submitted to the Jewish Quarterly Review through Adler, and were therefore seen by the processor of the Adler Collection as separate from the collection.
