4  On Reuchlin’s Hebrew books and Hebrew tutors, see Wolfgang von Abel und Reimund Leicht, eds., Verzeichnis der Hebraica in der Bibliothek Johannes Reuchlins (Ostfildern: Jan Thorbecke, 2005); Saverio Campanini, “Reuchlins Jüdische Lehrer aus Italien,” in Reuchlin und Italien, ed. Gerald Dörner (Stuttgart: Jan Thorbecke, 1999): 69–85.

5  I am aware of no indication that Schedel had any direct knowledge of the Hebrew language. For further discussion, see Ilona Steimann, “Habent sua fata libelli: Hebrew Books from the Collection of Hartmann Schedel.” (PhD diss., The Hebrew University, 2014), 20.

6  Neuburg an der Donau, Staatlische Bibliothek, no sign. Richard Stauber, Die Schedelsche Bibliothek (Freiburg im Breisgau: Herder, 1908), 50 and 145; Bernard Walde, Christliche Hebraisten Deutschlands am Ausgang des Mittelalters (Münster in Westphalia: Aschendorffsche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1916), 186.

7  Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (henceforth BSB), Inc.c.a. 181 (Brescia, 1494) and Chm 410. Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke (accessed July 27, 2022, https://www.gesamtkatalogderwiegendrucke.de/), 4200 and Moritz Steinschneider, Die hebräischen Handschriften der K.Hof-und Staatsbibliothek in München (Munich: Palm, 1895), 233, respectively. Stauber, Die Schedelsche Bibliothek, 50 and 149 (instead of Chm 410 it was identified erroneously as Chm 210); Paul Ruf, Mittelalterliche Bibliothekskataloge Deutschlands und der Schweiz, vol. 3, no. 1, Bistum Augsburg (Munich: C.H. Beck, 1932), 804 (following the error of Stauber, both manuscripts, Chm 210 and 410 were included); Walde, Christliche Hebraisten Deutschlands, 186–90. In Schedel’s inscription in BSB, Chm 410, he dated its acquisition to 1502 (see note 13 below). I have dated all of Schedel’s other acquisitions of Hebrew manuscripts on the basis of the manuscripts’ new bindings, produced on Schedel’s request immediately after the manuscripts were acquired. See Ilona Steimann, Habent sua fata libelli, 40–45. These two codices were bound by Francz Staindorffer in Nuremberg. Béatrice Hernad, ed., Die Graphiksammlung des Humanisten Hartmann Schedel (Munich: Prestel, 1990), 35; Ernst Kyriss, Verzierte gotische Einbände im alten deutschen Sprachgebiet, vol. 1 (Stuttgart: Max Hettler, 1954), no. 120.9 (the so-called Schedel Meister).

8  BSB Chm 14, 16, 21, 69, 88, 90, 298. Steinschneider, Die hebräischen Handschriften, 6, 7, 8, 46–47, 55–56 and 161. This group was bound in similar bindings by the successors of the monastic bindery, which belonged to the Order of Friars Minor (Franziskaner-Kloster) in Nuremberg. Ernst Kyriss, Nürnberger Klostereinbände der Jahre 1433 bis 1525 (Erlangen: s.n., 1940), 74; Kyriss, Verzierte gotische Einbände, vol. 1, no. 121. 3, 7.

9  In the letter of Konrad Celtis to Schedel (BSB, Autogr. II A), to be discussed below, Celtis mentioned some Hebrew books, acquired by Schedel from an anonymous Nuremberg resident (see below in this paper). These were apparently the seven manuscripts acquired in 1504.
