How to Search

General Search

Use keywords or phrases in any language to return matching or similar results across all fields. Arabic script searches will return both Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic transcription content.

Regular Expression Search

Use Hebrew or Arabic script to find precise matches in the transcriptions. See How to Search page for advanced use cases.

Cheat sheet:

  • If you're looking for a word with one missing letter, use a period. Two missing letters, use two periods or {2}. Increase the number in the curly brackets to increase the number of characters, or insert a range with a comma in between, ex. {0,5}.
  • If you don't know how many characters are missing, use .*.
  • If you know which characters you want, use square brackets to find multiple spellings, ex. [יו] for yud or vav.

    Interestingly the name of the treatise's author is mistranscribed from the undotted Arabic original as al-Tayrīzī (see T-S 8J34.4 (PGPID 7720) for the same kind of error, and in fact the same scribe may have written both NLI 577.2/8 and T-S 8J34.4, with the differences attributable to the difference between a book hand and a documentary hand).
