Ledger with handwritten novellae. Oriental hand, 19th century.
Specifications: 160 pages with text. Ink on paper. 16x10 cm. Crowded Oriental hand. Apparently never printed. A few leaves are lacking and torn.
Novellae on the weekly Torah readings, Psalms and, from leaf 46, mishnayot. Leaf 2b: unclear date. Leaf 18a: "Refer to what I wrote in Likutei Tehillim." Leaf 33a mentions "HaRav Chid"a z"l" [d. 1806]. Leaf 57a: "About this rule, I spoke at length in my rules." He refers to Rabbi Reuven David a number of times (57a and many more), perhaps referring to Rabbi Reuven David Navau of Baghdad who passed away in 1821.
Condition: Moderate-fine, aging stains, unbound.
