Manuscript booklet, halachic responsum by R. Shalom Moshe Chai Gagin. [Jerusalem, 19th century].
Lengthy responsum on the laws of Ribbit (interest), written by a scribe, concluding with the signature of the author R. Shalom Moshe Chai Gagin. His signature is followed by a lengthy addition (4 paragraphs), intended to be incorporated in the responsum (with a note of the place where the addition should be inserted). First three lines of the addition written in a different hand, presumably that of R. Gagin himself.
The responsum was published in Responsa Yismach Lev, Yoreh De'ah section 1. The addition appears there in its intended place.
R. Shalom Moshe Chai Gagin (1833-1883), leading Jerusalem Torah scholar. Son of the Rishon Letzion R. Chaim Avraham Gagin. Succeeded his father as dean of the Beit El yeshiva for kabbalists.
[8] leaves (15 written pages). 20.5 cm. Bluish paper. Good condition. Stains and wear. Folding marks. Minor tears. New binding.
