Volume of Handwritten Torah Novellae. Hanover, 1728-1739
Novellae on Torah portions and midrashim, and various notations written in Hanover, Poznań and possibly also Frankfurt, between 1728 and 1739. The writer is an unknown scholar who studied at the home of the officer Rabbi Seligman bar Cohen in Hanover. Beautiful script.
There is a notation at the beginning of the booklet about his arrival at the officer's home in 1713. The leaf after it bears a note about the purchase of the "buch" in Hanover in 1713.
On page 53b: That which I have been privileged to innovate on Tractate Avodah Zarah in Hamburg during the summer semester of 1708 - apparently later copied to this booklet.
On page 3a: That which I heard from the gaon, the Av Beit Din, Rabbi Ya'akov, that he delivered in 1714 during the week of Toldot, in the first sermon he delivered after being accepted as Av Beit Din in his community. [He may be referring to the gaon Rabbi Ya'akov Katz Poppers, author of Shev Ya'akov, and it should be: 1718.]
On page 15a: That which I have been privileged to deliver in Poznań, at the cemetery on Sukkot 1739.
At the beginning and end of the booklet, there is a table of contents and various notations, such as the deposit of a pledge in Frankfurt on 1739 with the widow of the dayan Rabbi Avraham Geiger, dayan of the Frankfurt am Main community.
114 pages, of which 59 are written. 15x20 cm. Thick, high-quality paper. Fine condition. Aging stains. Wear in the corners of the first leaves without damage to text. Blemishes in the margins of the first two pages with damage to several words. Professional restoration to the final leaf. New binding.
