Hebron - Documents regarding Land purchases between 1894-1896
Two documents by Rabbi Eliyahu Sliman Manny, Rabbi of Hebron.

2. A Turkish Kushan (land purchase certificate) for land in Hebron which belonged to Rabb Manny. Arabic language. On verso Rabbi Manny confirms the land registered under his name actually belongs to two other persons (son of Murad Askal and Nissim Franco). Hebron 1896. Confirmation was necessary as in Ottoman times it was possible to register land only under the name of a Turkish citizen, and so the owners of the land could not register the land under their own names.
Personal signature of Rabbi Manny anf his official stamp, as Rabbi of Hebron (the signature is by stamp). Also a handwritten signature of Rabbi Manny's son Yitzhak Malkiel Manny.
Rabbi Manny was born in Baghdad, 1818. Passed away in Hebron in 1899. Wrote a few books in Kabbalah and Halachah.
