* Sefer Divrei Yosef (section three and four), Pri Tevu’ah, Pardes, responsa, commentaries and various matters on wisdom suitable for everybody. Corrections and additions to book Tevu’ot Ha’aretz published in 1845. Jerusalem, (1861). Illustrations on leaf 7.
* Sefer Divrei Yosef (section three and four). Jerusalem, 1862.
The Kabbalist rabbi and researcher, the Ga’on Rabbi Yosef Schwartz, born in Germany in 1805, immigrated to Jerusalem in 1833 and passed away in 1865.

Additional notation of personal inscription: “Gift from friend Rabbi and Av Beit Din of Carlsburg”.
