Compiled by Benjamin Manasseh Lewin (1879–1944), “rabbinic scholar, educator, and authority on geonic literature... Lewin's major and pioneering work was in the field of geonic studies, in particular his Ozar ha-Ge'onim (13 vols.), an arrangement – with notes, references, and indexes – of geonic responsa and commentaries in the order of the Talmud tractates (to Bava Mezia). The material for this monumental work was scattered over many works and responsa collections, some retrieved from the Cairo Genizah treasures.” (EJ 2008) “Despite the state of disarray of Geonic literature, from 1928 to 1942, Dr. Benjamin M. Lewin self-published – on his own printing press – 12 volumes of Otzar Ha-Geonim, which he sub-titled 'Thesaurus of the Geonic Responsa and Commentaries following the order of the Talmudic Tractates'. Beginning with Berachot and ending – due to his untimely passing – with Bava Kamma, Lewin managed to achieve the impossible. His work did not end with his death: A partial volume to Bava Metsia was published posthumously and his personal hand-lists to tractates Bava Batra and Hullin were included in A. Kimmelman’s index to Geonic literature. Lewin, working alone and under financial stress, gleaned Geonic material from responsa collections, Geonic halachic works as well as newly published Genizah fragments. He divided (in most volumes) his compilations into two sections; ‘Responsa’ and ‘Commentary’, published parallel sources alongside one another in synoptic fashion, included footnotes of his own and from other scholars of his generation (e.g. Professors J. N. Epstein, S. Assaf, S. Lieberman and S. Abramson) and added detailed indices.” (Talmud Blog, Review by Yosaif Mordechai Dubovick). From the library of Rabbi Stanley Platek, with his bookstamp on endpage of each volume. Subjects: Responsa - To 1040. Geonic literature. Talmud – Commentaries. - Reviews
