Manuscript of Sermons, 1830 – Unidentified Author
Manuscript, autographic writing by unidentified author. Organized composition of sermons in Halacha and Aggada, for Shabbat, Rosh HaShanah and festivals, delivered between 1830-1864. Fine Ashkenazi writing, c. 1830.
In introduction at beginning of manuscript author cites Chidush in Rambam in name of his father. Some sermons dated according to date upon which they were delivered in “Chevrat Ne’urim” in 1830’s; on majority of sermons dates erased and replaced with date upon which sermon was repeated, between approximately 1840-1864. Apparently, author already then served in rabbinate, and upon repeating a sermon before congregants he would note the year.
On leaf 47/2 author adds interpretation which he said in dream: “In my dream I interpreted…”.
Throughout leaves, additions in different handwriting [son of author?] pertaining to Sgulot against evil eye. Leaves of indexes on content of book appear in same handwriting. Last leaf contains notations of receipt of money in 1875.
