Yefet’s complete translation and commentary on Job, published for the first time, provides fascinating insight into the history and development of exegetical thought on this book, both among the Karaites as well as the Rabbanites.

Their length varies from 1 to 340 folios and in total they contain ca. 2,850 folios.
