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.

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.
