SfarData, created by Malachi Beit-Arié, is a bilingual (Hebrew/English) codicological database of the dated medieval manuscripts written in Hebrew script documented in 250 libraries in situ. Recently the database received a major upgrade. In order to secure the existence of the database and its sophisticated search of almost one thousand codicological features, the National Library of Israel agreed to integrate SfarData. Such an integration required a major technical conversion to the NLI platforms. The effort was supported by CSMC.
