From the archive of Rabbi Netanel Sofer from Jerusaelm
Notebooks, writings and a letter (mostly calculations of sunrise times, and charts of times of the day) by Rabbi Netanel Sofer (Tfilinski), editor of the charts on the Eretz Israel charts of Hagri"m Tikochinski. Jerusaelm, [circa 1900].
Added is the Ketubah certificate from the marriage of Rabbi Netan'el, printed in Jerusalem. 1884.
Rabbi Netanel Sofer Tfilinski (1866-1918), an interesting and colorful figure, a scholar of technical talents and inventor. His Tfilin, which he made from cattle skin
were a breakthrough in the making of elegant Tfilin, and requests for such Tfilin came from all over the world (the Chafetz Chaim and others). The entire industry of cattle skin Tfilin is still based on his inventions and methods. In the issue of editing the charts of the times of the day and all the astronomical calculations around it, Rabbi Netanel was forsmost in this hard work. He rose early for over 4000 days to witness the sunrise in various places in the city. All this in order to prepare the chart of the "Luach Le-Eretz Israel" published by the "Ets Hayim" Yeshivah to which he belonged.
