Manuscript, emissary's ledger of donations collected in Hebron and during his visit to Libyan cities. [1920s]. The ledger contains many lists, including hundreds of names, accounts and other details. The ledger was not thoroughly examined. Some of the pages are titled Hebron (acronym) or "Donations of Hebron". Other titles: "That which was contributed to the Russian", "Donation from out of town", "The remaining funds", etc. Leaves [31]-[32] bear indistinct stamps (apparently, of a Hebron rabbi). Leaves [85]-[86] contain inscriptions from the writer's visit to Libya, recording donations he collected there: "…15th Av 1922… that which was collected in Tripoli… funds and pledges… from Benghazi… Tobruk… Darnah… Al Khums…". [98] leaves (including 15 blank leaves). 11 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains and wear. Original binding, damaged and worn.
