Judeo-Persian Manuscript / Handwritten Pages and Letters - Persia, 19th/20th Century
* Manuscript, compositions on laws of ritual slaughter with Judeo-Persian translation. [Kurdistan or Iran, 19th/20th century]. Hebrew and Judeo-Persian.
The manuscript contains two compositions on the laws of ritual slaughter: Avnei Zikaron by the Kabbalist R. Shmuel Barzani [Kurdistan Exilarch in the 16th/17th century], and an additional work by R. Yaakov ben Avraham [compare: S. Asaf, Be'Ohalei Yaakov, p. 138]. Two columns per page - the Hebrew version of the work in one column, and the Judeo-Persian translation in the opposite column. The second work opens with an interesting introduction by the author: "The author said - I have searched and groped and delved into books... and I arranged this volume... for the ritual slaughterers.... and I gathered them from the following poskim... and the custom of Narbona [Narbonne], and the custom of Kandiye [Herakhlion] and the custom of Salonica [Thessaloniki]... And we, here in the East, where the Gentiles eschew our ritual slaughter..." [this segment was published by S. Asaf, ibid].
Glosses and long marginal additions on some of the pages. Title decorations in red ink.
Several pages from another work on the laws of ritual slaughter, in a different handwriting, have been bound in at the end of the manuscript. Following those are printed pages from an assortment of books: several pages from the book "Nachmanides' Critique" (on Maimonides' Sefer Hamitzvot), Istanbul 1510, and others.
