Diwan of Yehuda Halevi described in the Joseph Luzzatto Catalogue 1868 (no. 54) as a manuscript of 244 folios on charta bombycina, containing 613 poems of the 816 attributed to the poet — one of the three principal witnesses of Halevi's Diwan. This manuscript served as the basis for the Brody edition (Berlin, 1894-1930). Location established (June 2026): cross-referencing with the OCR of the Neubauer 1886 catalogue identifies this manuscript with entry no. 1971, current shelfmark MS. Oppenheim Add. 4° 81 (244 ff., exact concordance of folio count). An index of cited names, in Luzzatto's hand, appears on the first page.
