David Hanagid, a grandson of Maimonides, was leader for 62 years of the Jewish community in Egypt. Like his father and grand- fattier, he was a well-known physi- cian and spent much time defend- ing Maimonides' doctrines. Dr. Katsh's Hebrew transla- tion, edited with his own intro- duction and annotations, was taken front an unknown Judeo- Arabic (Arabic in Hebrew let- ters) manuscript found in the Baron David Guenzberg Collec- tion in the government library in Moscow. Dr. Katsh visited the Soviet Union five times in recent years and succeeded in micro- filming these rare manuscripts. The manuscript deals with a commentary on the biblical book of Lamentations, and its existence was unknown until Dr. Katsh dis-; covered it. The three volumes of the Midrash reflect. much of the history of the Jews in Egypt dur- ing the time that the descendants' of Maimonides were the leaders of the community.
