Signatures of the Leading Rabbis of Modena, among those who Gave Approbations to Books by the Ohr HaChaim HaKodesh!
Community document in Italian with signatures - in Hebrew - of the three rabbinic leaders of Modena: Rabbi Menashe Yehoshua Padua, rabbi of Modena, Rabbi Avraham Chai Graciano and Rabbi Moshe Hirsch Lipshutz. Modena, 1751.
The greatness of this document's signatories is attested to by the fact that the Ohr HaChaim requested their approbation on his books Ohr HaChaim and Pri To'ar (photocopies included). There is also the letter from the Ohr HaChaim to the administrators of Midrash Knesset Yisrael in Modena, in which he sends regards to the three rabbis who signed here, as follows: "Send my regards to the lofty rabbis Rabbi Moshe Ashkenazi [Lipshutz], the elder rabbi, may he live long, and Rabbi Menashe ... and Rabbi Avraham Chai Graciano" (Iggerot V'Teshuvot Rabbeinu Chaim ben Attar p. 185 - photocopy included).
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for brief biographies of Rabbi Menashe Yehoshua ben Rabbi Yehudah Matzliach Padua, Rabbi Avraham Chai ben Rabbi Nethaniel Graciano and Rabbi Moshe Lipshutz.
[1] leaf paper, 24x35 cm. High-quality paper.
Moderate condition: Aging stains. Slight tears in the margins. There is a large tear in the center of the leaf with lack in the Italian text.
