Bill of ruling concerning monetary matters, torn and missing upper section, contains conclusion of ruling and signatures of Dayanim.
Holy signature of divine Kabbalist and scholar Rabbi Chaim Pinto (senior) Av Beit Din of Mogador (passed away in 1845). Among most righteous and distinguished personalities of Moroccan Jewry. Arrived in Essaouira (Mogador) as a young orphan where he was disciple of Rabbi Ya’akov Bibas, and soon after became famous as leading Torah scholar of the generation. Following the demise of his rabbi he succeeded him as rabbi of the city despite his young age; established the first local Beit Din and headed a Yeshiva for prominent outstanding students.
Famous as a divine Kabbalist and miracle worker. It is related that heavenly messengers appeared to him and he merited the revelation of Elijah the Prophet.

* Mazkeret Avon, pamphlet concerning a polemic which arose regarding the validity of the Kashrut of the local slaughterer of Gibraltar, 1887. The pamphlet mentions rabbis of Gibraltar, rabbis of Tangier and Morocco and rabbinical emissaries of Eretz Israel (Rabbi Shlomo Suzin and others). The pamphlet was written by one of the rabbis of the city who debated with one of the local elderly rabbis. The writer refers to this rabbi as “rabbi of our nation” and throughout the entire pamphlet discusses the battle of the “elderly king” with the writer - the “unfortunate young person” [according to the proverb in Kohelet 4, 13-14, the evil inclination – “old and foolish king”, with the good inclination – “poor but wise youth”]. * Several sermons in Hebrew and Judeo-Spanish (Ladino). Two of the sermons were prepared for a fatherless Bar Mitzvah boy.
