Sefer Zot Chukat HaTorah, summary of intentions of the Ari, by Rabbi Avraham Chezkuni. Printed by Rabbi Moshe Zakut – the Ramaz. Venice, 1659. First edition.
On other side of title page notation in Oriental-Moroccan handwriting of list of signs for intercalary [leap] year. Leaf margins contain dozens of Kabbalistic glosses in ancient faded handwriting, by several writers in Oriental-Moroccan handwriting from 17th/18th century. On leaf [8] signature: “Which G-d had bestowed his young servant Chaviv Toledano” [apparently, Rabbi Chaviv Toledano, among Torah scholars of Meknes, who lived between 1657-1716. Several scholars in Fes and Meknes bore this name, see attached material].
* Several leaves in Oriental handwriting [c. 18th century] bound at end of book; these leaves contain copy of the book "Tomer Devorah" by the Ramak [Rabbi Moshe Cordovero] from middle of chapter 1 until middle of chapter 2. Upon examination comparing version of manuscript with version of first printing printed in 1589, many discrepancies were observed, indicating that version of manuscript is original and less recent, before additional editing [grammar and style] revisions which appear in the printed editions were made.
Holy book "Tomer Devorah" by the Ramak, fundamental book of Musar and Chassidism, was printed in approximately one hundred editions. This book has three known versions: 1. Version of first printings based upon manuscript which was found in the collection of Rabbi Menachem Azariah of Fano [which apparently was edited by him as other manuscripts of the Ari which were kept by Rabbi Menachem Azariah of Fano]. Later on, this version was used for all old editions until the late 18th century. 2. Version of Rabbi Avraham Azulai, which appears at end of his book "Chesed LeAvraham" in "Birkat Avraham" pamphlet, which differs from the version of other printings. 3. Version of Russia-Poland printings which contain new revisions, apparently made by printers. Upon comparison of this manuscript with version of three editions, it seems that this manuscript is an early and unknown version of the book which differs from the three printed editions.

* 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.
