Manuscript of Chidushim of Rabbi Shimon Shkop – Tractate Bava Metzia

Three handwritten notebooks; Chidushim on tractate Bava Metzia and concerning a mission, of Ga’on Rabbi Shimon Yehuda HaKohen Shkop, c. 1900’s.
Early copy, in the handwriting of his son Rabbi Eliezer Zalman Shkop, of manuscripts of his father. Stamps in Cyrillic letters of “Eliezer Zalman Shkop”. Notebooks written in various handwritings; possibly copied by several copyists. Several pages somewhat resemble handwriting of Rabbi Shimon Shkop himself. In comments, son writes in several places: “This word is unclear in writings of my father”.
Most of these Chidushim were printed in the book ‘Chidushei Rabbi Shimon Yehuda HaKohen’ on tractate Bava Metzia, printed in U.S.A. in 1947, by Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Shkop, son of author, and in his introduction he states that majority of these Chidushim were written between 1894-1905.
Rabbi Eliezer Zalman Shkop (born in 1886 or 1889; passed away in 1976), second son of Rabbi Shimon Shkop, immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1932 and resided in Tel Aviv. These notebooks were apparently written in his youth, between approximately 1900-1910 and contain certain variations from the printed form.
Approx. 70 written pages. 22 cm. Dry paper, good-fair condition, wear and tear, detached leaves.
