❧ Description
Fourth volume of the Maḥzor of Oran. Material and codicological description to be completed within the MMJMM project. Neubauer note (June 2026): the shelfmark Opp. Add. 4° 87 bears, according to Neubauer 1886, the main body of entry no. 1089 (“so-called Mahazor Oran”; Eastern rabbinic script, 4°, paper, 115 ff.). The identification of this shelfmark as “volume IV” is an inference (the remaining link), not a catalogue designation. See the volume I record for the general description.
