Five notebooks handwritten by R. Moshe Aryeh Bamberger, Rabbi of Bad Kissingen, with his signatures. [Germany, 1854-1865].
Five notebooks by R. Moshe Aryeh Bamberger in his early years, with his signatures (in Hebrew and German) at the beginnings and ends of the notebooks, and in several places inside them:
1. A notebook containing over 140 written pages, with Torah novellae and selections on various matters (arranged in entries).
2. A notebook containing over 80 written pages, novellae on the Talmud, Aggadah and more. In many places he cites his father and quotes his novellae, and likewise cites and quotes from his brothers and other rabbis. Contains unpublished novellae from his father (at the beginning of the notebook: "What I said at the siyum of Mishnayot, 15 Shevat 1854…"). Between the leaves is bound an original letter from one of his brothers.
3. A notebook containing about 40 written pages, novellae and selections on various matters, including citations from his father (in one place he mentions his grandfather: "and my grandfather and master R. S[ekl] Wormser wrote…"; in another place he documents a halachic decision issued by his father on Monday, 15 Av, 1865).
4. A notebook containing about 50 written pages, novellae and selections, as well as an "index" – apparently of his novellae in other notebooks. Among other things, he quotes several teachings from his father. The notebook contains dates from the months Cheshvan-Kislev 1861 in several places.
5. A notebook containing about 20 written pages, summaries of responsa from responsa collections (including Chavot Yair, Noda BiYehudah, Kiryat Chanah and more). At the beginning of the notebook the starting date is given in a chronogram for 1858, followed by a documentation of a halachic ruling of his father.
To the best of our knowledge, these have never been published.
