Manuscript booklet (8 pages), two Torah novellae essays. Starobin, [ca. 1900s-1910s].
Especially fine writing [apparently by a young man]. First four pages containing a pilpul on yibum and gid hanasheh. A second essay is concerned with halachic documents and presumption of ownership.
The script and style appear to belong to a young man, but the penetrating understanding and comprehensive knowledge displayed give the impression of being written by one of the prodigy sons of R. David Feinstein, Rabbi of Starobin, who was appointed Rabbi of the city in 1907: R. Yaakov Feinstein, R. Yissachar Dov Ber Feinstein (the shochet in Starobin), R. Moshe Feinstein (the "prodigy of Starobin", later author of Igrot Moshe) or R. Mordechai Feinstein (later Rabbi of Shklow). The author was unlikely to be their older brother R. Avraham Yitzchak Feinstein (father of R. Yechiel Michel Feinstein) who was already married when their father moved to Starobin.
[2] double leaves (8 written pages). Good condition. Stains, wear and folding marks.
