Manuscript, Mevo She'arim, by Rabbi Chaim Vital. Tunis, [1728].
This manuscript was edited and copied in Tunis with the incorporation of glosses by Rabbi Ya'akov Tzemach, Rabbi Natan Shapira and Rabbi Moshe Zakut (all of which who edited the book at various stages), with glosses by other Mekubalim from Europe and North Africa. Glosses from Western Mekubalim Rabbi Avraham Azulai and Rabbi Ya'akov Maragi, written originally on Otzrot Chaim and later incorporated and adjusted to this book. Glosses of the Rabach – Rabbi Binyamin HaCohen of Reggio [disciple of Rabbi Moshe Zakut. Died about a year before this manuscript was finished]. Several glosses by Rabbi Azriel of Krotoszyn [a Mekubal from Germany and Poland – see: Y. Avivi, Kabalat Ha'Ari, Vol 2 pp. 766-769]. After the index, the author added glosses "Belongs to Siman 73 and Mevo She'arim" [8 pages]. On the last two leaves are glosses in another handwriting: "Glosses on Mevo She'arim what I have found written in another book".
At the beginning of the manuscript is a copy of Rabbi Chaim Vital's introduction to his book Etz Chaim. At the end is the index Petach HaTikva. Colophon (on Leaf 169/2): "I have written this manuscript in 1728 in the city of Tunis…" (The year in the colophon is damaged and difficult to read).
On the sheet margins are other glosses, with corrections and glosses with content, apparently in the handwriting of the Mekubal Rabbi Masud Alfasi. Several glosses start with the initials "N.L.M.A." = Nire Li (Seems to me) Masud Alfasi.
Rabbi Masud Alfasi was a leading Mekubal in western countries. In 1723, he emigrated from Morocco to Tunis where he was active until his death in 1775. From his writings, only the book Mishcha D'Rabuta was printed (Livorno 1805). He also wrote a large work on Kabalistic wisdom which was not published.
69, 71-169, [16] leaves (Leaf 70 is missing, Leaves 135 and 133 were not bound in their correct places, Leaves 157-158 were exchanged in binding). 19 cm. Varying condition of leaves, good-fair. Stains. Some leaves have tears, ink damage and moth damage (at times with damage to text). The leaves were professionally cleaned and restored. Most leaves are in good condition. New binding.
In the library of the Beit Midrash L'Rabbanim in Budapest there is a manuscript (K 245) of Mevo She'arim written in 1627 by Rabbi Ya'akov Lombrozo (Kabbalist in Tunis). That manuscript is edited in a very similar fashion with similar glosses

Manuscript – novellae on laws of commerce, by Rabbi Meir Auerbach, author of Imrei Binah. [1835?].These pages were written over the course of several periods.
He writes that he orally presented the novellae to his father [author of the Divrei Chaim, who died in 1846]. Indeed, the handwriting is more characteristic to his handwriting in his youth (see comparison of handwriting from Sefer HaDrashot from before 1840). It does not resemble his handwriting in a dedication he wrote in one of his books in 1876 – see item 346.
These leaves probably belong to the portion of his writings which he was unable to publish in “Imrei Binah”. It belongs with Choshen Mishpat, but the Choshen Mishpat part of his book concludes with laws of collecting debts, and laws of acquisitions. He was unable to publish more.
Rabbi Meir Auerbach (1815-1878) was Rabbi of Kwall and Kalisch, and one of the great rabbis of his time. We was the son of Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Auerbach, Rabbi of Lontshitz, author of the Divrei Chaim, and grandson of Rabbi Chaim Auerbach, Rabbi of Lontshitz, author of Divrei Mishpat. In 1859 he made aliya, and was the first rabbi to be officially appointed as chief rabbi of the Ashkenazi community. Aside from his well-known greatness in Torah and halacha, he was also a great kabalist and learned in the Beit El Yeshiva.
8 leaves, 10 written pages. 23 cm. High-quality paper, good condition, slight wear and stains on margins. Cloth binding.

A leaf handwritten by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov (Shkloŭ), a segment from a work on Kabalistic matters that was never printed.
The mekubal Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov, disciple of the Vilna Gaon (died 1827), was one of the first disciples of the Gaon who ascended to Eretz Israel where he founded the Ashkenazi community in Jerusalem. Served the Vilna Gaon in his last years, at which time he gained vast knowledge in revealed and hidden Torah. He was the Gaon's scribe and wrote much of his Kabalistic Torah. After his teacher died, he took upon himself to edit and publish the Vilna Gaon's works. In 1808, he led the first group of the Gaon's disciples to Eretz Israel. Settled first in Safed and after a plague which spread through the city, ascended to Jerusalem where he re-established the Ashkenazi community. After many efforts, he bought the plot of the Hurva and built his Beit Midrash there. Rabbi Menachem Mendel was especially renowned for his knowledge of kabbalah and during the years he lived in Eretz Israel he wrote ten deep works on kabbalah. Some of them were recently printed (called "The writings of the Garamam).
One leaf, written on both sides. 31 cm. Stains. New binding.

Three leaves in the handwriting of Rabbi Eliezer Zusman Sofer Av Beit Din of Paks. [Paks, after 1891].
Three leaves. Three pages of novellae on Talmudical treatises [the novellae were later integrated into his works with slight changes, see attached material]; short inscriptions that he wrote for himself on various subjects [we have not been able to find if they too were later integrated into any of his other writings]. Written on one page is the text to be written on the tombstone of Rabbi Yom Tov Lipman Kern in Rabbi Sofer's handwriting [apparently also his wording].
Rabbi Eliezer Zusman Sofer (1828-1903, HaChatam Sofer U'Talmidav, pp. 63-65), a prominent Hungarian rabbi. His Sandak was the Chatam Sofer, and he also merited studying Torah from him for a short time. After his death, he continued his studies with the Chatam Sofer's son the Ktav Sofer and later became a close disciple of the Maharam Shick. After his marriage, he moved to the city of Paks near his father-in-law Rabbi Yoel Unger Av Beit Din of Halas. There his name began to spread as one of the chief speakers representing Charedi Jews in Hungary. Due to the esteem in which he was held, Rabbi Sofer received rabbinic writs from the cities adjacent to Halas, Földes and Szabadszállás, which agreed to his serving as rabbi of their city on the condition that he visit them periodically and deliver sermons in their cities. In 1886, after the death of his father-in-law, Rabbi Sofer succeeded him in the Paks rabbinate while the cities in the vicinity of Halas continued to be faithful and keep him as their rabbi in spite of the long distance between them. He served as Rabbi of Paks until his death. He wrote many books and was primarily known for his books Yalkut Eliezer, HaMikneh and Et Sofer.
Rabbi Lipman Kern mentioned above was one of the community leaders in Földes and his signature appears on the official rabbinical writ sent from that city to Rabbi Eliezer Zusman Sofer. See attached material.
