SaleRabbi El'azar Berabbi Qillir (commonly known as "HaQallir") was the most famous and productive of the Hebrew poets during the peak era of early Hebrew piyyut (liturgical poetry) between the sixth and eighth centuries AD. Of the thousands of poems he penned, some were preserved in the Asheknazi, French and Italian mahzorim (prayer books) for the High Holy Days, and a few of them are recited in synagogues to this day. The Cairo Geniza findings indicate that the European mahzorim preserve only a handful of Qillir's works. This edition attempts to restore the full compositions as per the textual witnesses from the Cairo Genizah, with the aid of the material from the European mahzorim. The poems are printed with full vocalization, apparatus criticus, and extensive running commentary. Perusal of the poems reveals quite a few surprises, from original linguistic feats to previously unknown Midrash traditions, and above all, uplifting segments of poetry. Several of these are presented in the introduction, but the edition is the crux of the book, and through it readers will be able to delve deep into Qillir's poems, to learn from the Torah contained within them, and to delight in their beauty.

SaleMinhat Shai, by the seventeenth-century scholar Yedidyah Shlomo Norzi, deals with the forms, vocalization, and Masoretic interpretation of biblical terms, in the order of their appearance in the Bible. The aim of this work is to analyze words with respect to their orthography, vocalization, and cantillation, and to assess their proper forms. The work was first printed in Mantua in the middle of the eighteenth century; it has since been reprinted in various places and always as part of editions of the Pentateuch or other sections of the Bible. The version in use today accords with the text as printed in Mikra’ot Gedolot (Vilna/Warsaw editions), where the relevant sections were appended following each biblical book. The Addenda to Minhat Shai complete the publication of Minhat Shai on the Torah.
