<div dir="ltr">Concerning the use of recently published manuscripts I note that one problem is the authenticity of some of these manuscripts. i.e. were they written by the person listed<div><br></div><div>I saw an article that claimed that part of the opposition to using newly found manuscripts was caused by the controversy over "Besamin Rosh" which most academics consider to be a forgery although many poskim still claim it is written by the Rosh.</div>
<div>Of course we all know that there was much confusion between the chiddushim of the Ramban,Rashba, Ritva etc many of which were published originally switching the author.</div><div><br></div><div>I also recently read an article abount the Malbim that some of the seforim "by the Malbi" were written by others in a style they felt was true to the Malbim - sort of like kosher style food</div>
