Collection of Handwritten Leaves – Novellae, Marriage Contracts and Other Contracts, Testament and More – Europe, 19th-20th Centuries
Diverse collection of handwritten leaves, in Ashkenazic script, by various writers. [Europe, 19th-20th centuries]:
· Leaf with Messianic calculations, by an unidentified writer. Includes hints in the Bible to current events, and mentions of the Czar Nicholas. At the top of the leaf, he states that these hints appear on p. 93b of the Constantinople edition of Midrash Talpiot by the author of Shevet Mussar, and were copied from there "letter by letter". However, the Constantinople edition does not have a leaf 93, and nowhere else in the book do these teachings appear. It is unclear why the writer chose to note this.
· Large leaf (approx. 7 small pages), of original novellae on Simla Chadasha (by the author of Tevuot Shor) and Levushei Serad (by R. David Shlomo Eybeschutz, author of Arvei Nachal), by an unidentified writer.
· Large leaf – a neat copying (by the above writer) of a passage of Chochmat Adam (Principle 45 sections 10-14) of R. Avraham Danzig (author of Chayei Adam).
· Tosefet Ketubah contract for "R. Refael son of R. Aryeh Leib" and "Yenta daughter of R. Yaakov" signed by the witnesses: "Yosef Chaim son of R. Betzalel", "Moshe son of R. Avraham maggid of Łachwa". "Sečovce Hotel" (Slovakia), 1838.
· Tosefet Ketubah contract for "R. Mordechai son of R. Yosef HaLevi" and "Vital daughter of R. Yehuda Leib", signed by one witness: "Noach son of R. Yosef Chaim Shub", and an empty space for a second witness. [No place indicated], 1889. Half lacking (we only have the right half of the contract).
· Contract appointing a messenger to deliver a Get, for "Yisrael son of Shaul David" and "Nechama daughter of Gershom" by the messenger "Reuven son of Netanel", signed by witnesses and dayanim. Mazyr (Belarus), 1860.
· Will of a deathly ill person, "the groom R. Yehuda son of R. Chaim Chaikel". Łachwa (Belarus), [ca. 1863]. Lacking bottom half.
· Letter from Eliezer Lipa Weinbach to his grandfather R. Avraham Shalom HaLevi [Markus] rabbi of Wełdzicz (Shevchenkovo, Ukraine), requesting he accept him to learn Torah under him. Filipetz (Fülöpfalva, Maramureș, Hungary), 1897.
· Draft of a Ketubah for Gittel daughter of R. Yitzchak Isaac Shlomo Zalman (without the name of the groom). Nelipyno (Hungary), [1921].
· Draft of Ketubah De'Irkesa (replacement Ketubah) for R. Mordechai son of R. Reuven and Leah Mirul daughter of R. Daniel. Łachwa (Belarus), 1924.
