I enjoyed, and still enjoy, his editions and found him generous and

May I say that I was lucky enough to make his acquaintance. He was a
generous man. Aharon Polak was his father (author of Al Hastumot
Bamizmor, a commentary on the psalms), and Matanya's family name
actually is a compound of his father's initials, as he pointed out
to me. He was a pilot of the IDF. And he was particularly
knowledgeable about guitar music and its sources. May his soul be
bound in the bundle of life.

Betreff: [LUTE] Re: Matanya Ophee
Sad news. He kept the list alive and his work in publishing was
significant, although perhaps primarily for guitar players. Perhaps
the last representant of a generation that considered lute music a
sub-set of classical guitar music.
