Letters in Hebrew and Ladino [Turkey-Rhodes, c. 1820].
Remnants of leaves which were taken out of a binding Geniza [repository for old religious items], most of which are letters sent to Rabbi Aharon Franko and Rabbi Refael David Franko in Gishmi [a suburb of Constantinople]. [The dates and content of the letters indicate that Rabbi Aharon Franko was a Torah scholar and served in the rabbinate]. * Letter by Rabbi Yehoshua Musapir [Musafia] from 1826. * Letter from Rhodes by Rabbi Chaim Yosef and Rabbi Shmuel Tarika [famous rabbinical family from Rhodes]. * Leaf with several poems [unknown?]. * Letter signed "He'ach Nafsheinu", and more.
Five leaf remnants, various sizes, fair to poor condition.
