Manuscript - Novellae of Rabbi Yaakov of Lissa, Author of Netivot HaMishpat - Hitherto Unprinted Sections and Sections Printed in Torat Gittin with Textual Differences - Lissa, 1810
Four handwritten leaves (7 written pages), novellae on Shulchan Aruch, Even HaEzer, Laws of Gittin - section of a previous version of the composition Torat Gittin by R. Yaakov Lorberbaum of Lissa, author of Netivot Mishpat and Chavot Daat. [Lissa, 1810].
Unprinted novellae and novellae printed in Torat Gittin with textual differences. Apparently, these sections are from a previous version of Torat Gittin.
The first leaf contains an introduction (lacking beginning) with the title: "Sugya D'Shalish", ending: "Now we will begin to explain the words of the Shulchan Aruch". This is followed directly by novellae on Chapter 141 of Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer. Comparison between the printed version of the book Torat Gittin and this manuscript reveals many differences in the text of these novellae. In one place, the manuscript contains a long section which the author decided to omit, printing only a short piece.
To the best of our knowledge, the introduction (Sugya D'Shalish) was never printed. Several times in the novellae on the Shulchan Aruch, the author refers to this introduction.
The last page bears the copier's colophon from 1810: "The writing was completed on Sunday Erev Rosh Chodesh Tammuz 1810… writer and assistant R. Noach of Lissa".
This colophon attests that the name of the writer was "R. Noach of Lissa" (the letters of Noach are marked, possibly indicating that they are his initials?). From the words "writer and assistant" it can be assumed that he was an assistant (or scribe) of the author, R. Yaakov Lorberbaum, and probably served in that capacity while R. Yaakov was composing his work Torat Gittin (a rabbi named "R. Noach of Lissa" in known from that period - the author of Toldot Noach, who was a leading Torah scholar at the time R. Akiva Eger was in Lissa and exchanged halachic correspondence with him. Around 1810, R. Noach served as rabbi of Lubrantz - Lubraniec, after serving as rabbi in several other towns).
The author: The famed Torah scholar R. Yaakov Lorberbaum Rabbi of Lissa (1770-1832), one of the leading rabbis and poskim in his generation. A close friend of the Ketzot HaChoshen and of R. Akiva Eger. He served also as dean of the Lissa yeshiva, and many leading Torah scholars in Poland and Prussia were among his disciples. A prolific author, his works include: Netivot HaMishpat, Chavot Daat, Beit Yaakov, Torat Gittin, Mekor Chaim, Derech HaChaim and more. His compositions were accepted for practical ruling, and were printed in many editions. Until today, they are studied in all yeshivas and study halls.
2 double leaves (7 written pages). Approx. 20 cm. Thick, high-quality paper. Good-fair condition. Stains and wear.
