Abstract

This article contains a partial edition and translation of some fragments from the book Kitāb al-anwār wa-l-marāqib by al-Qirqisānī written in Judeo-Arabic, from the manuscripts preserved in the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Collection, at the Cambridge University Library. An earlier edition of this book was published by Leon Nemoy; however, this edition was incomplete. In this article I will present the edition and translation of several fragments of the Kitāb al-anwār that were not included in Nemoy´s edition. These fragments deal with both liturgical and legal issues of Judaism including the festivals calendar, the consecration of the šabat and Passover.
