Halacha and Agada Sermons Manuscripts. [Greece], 1820.
Author is unknown but based on his writings, it appears that he had served as Rabbi in the area of Salonica, Greece.
He deals with a customary mistake made by women as they count their “seven clean days” and reports: “I have already turned to the great rabbi... about that deplorable custom and he replied that this custom had to be abolished since it is a De-Oraita prohibition”. He then writes: “and I have sought the opinion of the outstanding Rabbi Nechama son of Shabtay... and he has said that this is the opposite of the law and that it needs to be eliminated. And I have also asked Rabbi David Di Buton, who was a Posek for 22 years, he too replied that he had been asked about this custom in the city of Kastoria and that it was not conform to the Poskim’s writings and he has abolished their custom. And whoever will remove this custom will have great merit, since this is a grave violation”.
Rabbi David Di-Buton, of the leading sages of Salonica, authored the “Yad David” (Salonica, 1859). Rabbi Chaim Nechama son of Shabtay served as Dayan in Salonica towards the end of his life and passed away in 1827. (More details about him in the enclosed material – from the books “Dynasty of the Salonica Rabbis” by Rabbi David Pipano; “Chronicles of the Jews in Turkey and Eastern countries”, 6, page 107). On the other two rabbis, we have found no information such as where they previously served as Poskim in the city where our author served as rabbi.
33 written leaves, in fine Eastern handwriting, with additions and corrections. High quality paper, good condition.

A manuscript of systems and rules of various halachic topics according to the order of the Hebrew alphabet. [C. beginning of the 19th century]. Never printed. Impressed on cover, "Notebook – by Eliyahu Hayun" whose signature is also inside the manuscript. Oriental handwriting, by two or three writers [possibly, the author had written it together with his scribes, or it had been written by several authors and one of them was Rabbi Eliyahu Hayun who signed the manuscript].
Author unknown, but from the many entries in the book and the numerous thoughts heard from his rabbis and the scholars of his generation we can learn about his times and his companions. The manuscript was written c. 1806-1811. In one entry, the author notes "this happened in 1809… on Shemini Atzeret". In many places in blessing the live or the dead, he mentions the Chida [who died in 1806] and the author of Zera Emet [died 1811]. He writes about things said to him by Rabbi Suzin who he names Rav Achai [Rabbi Mordechai Suzin?]. He copies things that never saw print from manuscripts and sheets of Rabbi Yehuda Burla and things from the manuscripts of the author of Zera Emet, and he copies from the manuscript of the Rav HaMelitz [his Torah thoughts were publicized by word of mouth and written in the lands where he passed through as a rabbinical emissary of Jerusalem. In 1796, he was in Turkey; see Ya'ari, Eretz Yisrael emissaries, page 562]. In numerous places, the author notes things he had written in his book Dikdukei Torah, [apparently, this book was also never printed].
