VaYikra Avraham by R. Avraham Chaim Adadi – leaves from the author's manuscript, and printed edition of the composition:
· VaYikra Avraham, novellae following the order of the Shulchan Aruch, by R. Avraham Chaim Adadi. Livorno, [1865].
The title page bears a handwritten dedication by the author: "A gift sent to the esteemed and wise… R. Shalem Tov… from the author Avraham Chaim Adadi".
· Collection of handwritten leaves and leaf fragments, from a "binding geniza", sections of VaYikra Avraham, handwritten by the author R. Avraham Chaim Adadi. Some leaves are stuck together, and some were (delicately) attached into the printed copy we have here, on the corresponding printed text.
· Enclosed are two printed leaves originating from that same binding (cut to size), with typographic variations. These leaves presumably originate from an initial printing of the book, which was later altered (see enclosed leaves for comparison).
R. Avraham Chaim son of R. Mas'ud Hai Adadi – "Rav Achai" (1800-1874) was a leading Lybian Torah scholar. He was the grandson of R. Natan Adadi and R. Mas'ud Hai Rakkah, author of Maaseh Roke'ach. Orphaned from both his parents at a young age, he was raised by his grandfather R. Natan Adadi. At the age of 18, he immigrated with his grandfather to Safed. He learnt under the scholars of Safed and travelled as emissary of the Sephardi community in Safed. In 1837, during his mission in Livorno, news reached him of the destruction of Safed in the earthquake, and he decided not to return there, instead heading for Tripoli, his birthplace. In Tripoli, he served as rabbi and dayan for over 32 years, and was one of its leading scholars. In 1849, his book HaShomer Emet was published in Livorno, followed by VaYikra Avraham in 1865. Apart from these two books, he left behind additional manuscript compositions.
VaYikra Avraham: 4, 131 leaves. 30 cm. Good condition, stains, several tears. Old binding, with damage + over 50 leaf fragments from the manuscript, of varying size and degrees of damage (overall good condition, apart from loss of text due to trimming).

Pesakim U'Ktavim, by R. Yisrael Isserlein. Venice: Marco Antonio Justinian, 1546.
Trumat HaDeshen, by the same author, was printed concurrently and in later editions the two books were combined to one book consisting of two parts.
This copy belonged to rabbis from the prominent Berdugo family of Meknes. The title page contains an inscription handwritten and signed by R. "Maimon", presumably R. Maimon Berdugo: "I borrowed this from R. Yehuda HaLevi son of Yosef, Maimon". Followed by an ownership inscription of his cousin R. Petachya Mordechai Berdugo: "Received as a gift from the aforementioned R. Yehuda, Petachya Mordechai Berdugo", alongside an ownership inscription of his brother R. Yaakov Berdugo: "I acquired it from Hekdesh property which Lidicia widow of Yaakov son of Shmue[?] consecrated, Yaakov Berdugo".
The title page and subsequent leaf contain signatures of "Nehorai Azubib" – we were unable to ascertain whether this is the signature of R. Nehorai Azubib the first (1610-1690), a dayan in Algiers and patriarch of the Azubib family, or of his grandson R. Nehorai son of R. Saadia Azubib, Rabbi of Algiers (d. 1785).
The book contains a dozen handwritten notes (by one of the rabbis from the Berdugo family?). A handwritten leaf (4 small pages) was found amongst the leaves of the book, with a draft letter containing Torah thoughts, autographic writing with deletions and corrections (by one of the rabbis from the Berdugo family?).
Handwritten leaves were used as filling of the binding. The binding is partially falling apart and the leaves filling it are somewhat separated. The leaves contain numerous lists, including various names and data, in Western script from ca. 1740s.
The illustrious Berdugo family, one of the most distinguished families in Morocco, arrived in Morocco with the Spanish exiles between 1492-1497, and its descendants settled in Meknes. According to their family tradition, they claim to descend from King David. Some maintain the family name "Berdugo" stems from "Son of David" (Dugo is a nickname for David), and others believes it has its roots in Portuguese Bara Dogua, meaning Golden Scepter. From the 18th century onwards, the Berdugo family produced consecutive generations of rabbis, yeshiva deans and community leaders, until today.
R. Maimon Berdugo (1767-1854) "HaRav HaMeivin" - the author of Lev Meivin and Pnei Meivin, was the son of R. Refael Berdugo ("HaMalach Refael"). He served as rabbi and dayan in Meknes.
R. Petachya Mordechai Berdugo (1764-1820), a dayan and yeshiva dean in Meknes, was a leading Torah scholar of the town. He authored Pituchei Chotam and Nofet Tzufim. R. Petachya Mordechai was the son of R. Yekutiel Berdugo (d. 1802, brother and teacher of "HaMalach Refael").
His brother R. Yaakov Berdugo (1786-1843), who signed here alongside him, was also a leading Torah scholar in Meknes and served as head of the Meknes Beit Din. He authored Shufrei D'Yaakov, Kol Yaakov and other books.
R. Yehuda son of R. Yosef HaLevi – the first owner of the book – is presumably R. Yehuda HaLevi, the Beit Din scribe in the time of R. Yehuda ben Attar (Mohariva) and R. Yaakov Even Tzur (the Yaavetz). His signature appears on a verdict dated 1730, together with R. Shalom Ederi and R. Binyamin son of Samchon (see: Malchei Rabbanan, p. 45).
R. Nehorai Azubib (ca. 1720-1785) Rabbi of Algiers, was one of the Torah scholars and poets of Algiers. His commentaries on piyyutim were published in Chochmat Misken, Livorno 1772 (see: Marciano, Malchei Yeshurun, pp. 31-32).
77 leaves. 20.5 cm. Fair condition. Stains and wear. Worming and tears, affecting text in some leaves. Original binding, damaged and partly detached.

Yosef Elmaliach from his book Tokfo shel Yosef (quoted with the acronym T.Sh.Y.) and the teaching of R. Yaakov Pinto. In many places he establishes the Halacha ("and so is the Halacha", "and this is correct", or "this is not the Halacha", and the like). In many places he testifies on the custom in his place and time. On p. 111a he writes: "and so ruled R. Yehuda ben Attar and R. Yaakov Even Tzur. On p. 302b he writes: "and so ruled the sages of Meknes and Maharsha disagreed with them" [Maharsha refers to R. Shomo Asabbag, one of the rabbis of Mogador (Essaouira)], and more.
The second writer, in larger script, brings excerpts from the books of leading Maghrebi rabbis, adding testimonies from his personal experience and various other sources: "and so I saw ruled…" (p. 64a), "and so we rule…"(p. 83a), "and so the Marrakech sages wrote in one ruling" (p. 161a), "and so ruled the Maghrebi sages, and the sages of Marrakech concurred with their decision…" (p. 304b), and more.
