Lot 266

Manuscript, Seder Netinat HaGet – Izmir, 1700s – Signatures of Jerusalem Rabbis

Handwritten booklet, Seder Netinat HaGet. Izmir, 18th century.
At the end of the booklet are the "Customs of our City Izmir". Next to the title, in a slightly different handwriting: "From the Great Beit Din of Rabbi Mayo and Rabbi Chazan and Maharit Danon".
On the last leaf are customs on the matter of writing the Arab name Zirgani, and the writer brings a story which "happened in Izmir and came before Rabbi Mayo and Rabbi Chazan and Maharit Danon and they did not write it in the Get...".
The binding of the manuscript was used as an envelope which was apparently used to transfer the Get from Jerusalem [at a later time], and has an inscription written on it with the signatures of Jerusalem Rabbis Rabbi Chaim David Sornage, Rabbi Shimon Ashriki and Rabbi Chaim Ya'akov Burla, and the stamp of "Beit Din Tzedek of the Sefardi Community… Jerusalem".
[9] pages. 18 cm. Fair condition. Tears and moth damage (with damage to text).
