Bibliographia Gersonideana an Annotated List of Writings by and about R. Levi Ben Gershom
Menachem Kellner

This bibliography was originally published in Gad Freudenthal (ed.), Studies on Gersonides, A Fourteenth-Century Jewish Philosopher-Scientist (Leiden: Brill, 1992) and appears on this website thanks to the kind permission of Gad Freudenthal and Brill.
In most cases I have given a summary description of the item. No summary is given in cases where the contents of the enry were made clear by the title, or if I had not seen the item myself. Where appropriate, and to save the need of cross references, and to make each several different headings; in such cases, the descriptions relate to the subject of heading. I have, by and large, not included encyclopedia articles and the like. Wherever possible I have translated as opposed to transliterating titles of works by or about Gersonides in Hebrew; all of his works were written in that language. Items by the same author in any given section are listed chronologically by date of publication. The indexes of names of modern editors, translators, and students of Gersonides allow one to trace works by a given scholar classed under different headings.
I would like to make this bibliography an on-going project and invite colleagues to send me comments, corrections, and additions, and especially offprints of their future publications on Gersonides. I will keep the bibliography updated. My address is: kellner@research.haifa.ac.il
I would like to thank Bernard R. Goldstein for his kind and extensive help and advice. Gad Freudenthal has given unstintingly of his time and effort. Their assistance is reflected on every page of this bibliography.

A word on tranliteration: for technical reasons I have not used diacritical marks. Thus, “h” stands for either “heh” or “het” and “z” for either “zayin” or “tzadi”. In preparing this article for posting on the internet some French accents may have been lost.
