Writ from a Beit Din Signed by the Mahari"t Algazi and Jerusalem Dayanim Jerusalem, 1780.
Writ from a beit din signed by Rabbi Yom Tov Algazi - the Mahari"t Algazi, Rabbi Yisrael Ya'akov Burla, and Rabbi Ya'akov Chazzan.
Writ from the beit din about power of attorney to collect an inheritance in Modena, Italy, through the emissary Rabbi Ephraim Navon. Signed by the Rishon LeTziyon and leading dayanim of Jerusalem.
Rabbeinu Yom Tov - the Mahari"t Algazi [1727-1802], was a son of the gaon Rabbi Yisrael Ya'akov Algazi. The Mahari"t was a gaon and a Kabbalist. His visage was that of a G-dly angel. He succeeded his rabbi, the Rasha"sh, as the head of the 'Beit El' Kabbalists' study hall in Jerusalem. Beginning in 1773 he served as Rishon LeTziyon in Jerusalem. The renowned work for which he is eternally remembered is his Hilchot Yom Tov on the Ramba"n's halachahs of bechorot and challah. The Chata"m Sofer wrote in his approbation for said book: "I was acquainted with him from the time he was an emissary from Tziyon in Frankfurt am Main, and the land lit up from his presence, yet did not reach even half the honor due him as can be seen from his composition Hilchot Yom Tov; he has achieved wonders and increased scholarship. From the day Mishneh LaMelech was composed, nothing like it has been seen."
Rabbi Yisrael Ya'akov Burlah (Burla) served as Ra'ava"d in the Mahari"t Algazi's time. He passed away in 1797. His responsa were printed in Mekor Yisrael and Nachalat Yeuda in 1882.
Rabbi Ya'akov Chazzan was one of the sages of the Beit Avraham yeshivah in Jerusalem. He was sent on a mission with the Mahari"t Algazi in 1770 - refer to the following item for the mission letter. He passed away in 1802.
