Finding Aids —  Specialized:

Special effort has been made here to list published specialized finding aids, because there is no comprehensive bibliography of finding aids covering GIM collections. Although hardly comprehensive, the list below emphasizes the most recent publications, and includes all pre-1976 imprints that are available in microfiche reprint editions. Some additional earlier editions and more detailed annotations for some entries are to be found in the PKG 1976 M&L Supplement, pp. 102–11.
        For more detailed coverage of earlier descriptions of Greek manuscripts, see the 1995 edition of Richard Répertoire des bibliothèques et des catalogues de manuscrits grecs de Marcel Richard, pp. 554–60. For coverage of Jewish-related holdings, see Dok. ist. evreev (1997), pp. 393–94, and Jewish Doc (1996), p. 23.
