Responsum by Rabeinu Shlomo Ben Aderet (Rashba). Vienna, 1812.
Tens of glosses handwritten by the Ga'on of Brashov, Rabbi David Shparber (1875-1962, Otzar 5075) was among Galicia and Romania's leading Rabbis. He was born in Zablatov, to family of Vizhnitzer Chasidim. Disciple of Rabbi Meir Arik. He began to serve in rabbinate in 1908, and became rabbi of Brashov in 1928. He wrote Afarkesta Di'aniya, Michtam LeDavid, and other compositions on all areas of Torah. He is well-known for releasing women whose husbands were lost in the holocaust from their status as married women, by halachic means, thus enabling them to remarry. In 1949 he made aliya, and was among the directors of “Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah”
On the last leaves owner's signature: Yehudah Ya'akov Kahana. [Rabbi Yehuda Ya'akov grandson of author of "Kuntress Ha-Sfekot" and father of Rabbi Shmuel Sanwil of Munkacz, author of "Zichron Shmuel" on Baba Kama – see enclosed material about him).

Sha'ar Ha-Psukim, kabala and homiletics based on the Tanach, Rabbi Chaim Vital. Jerusalem, Yisrael Printing Press, 1863.
Ink-stamps and signatures:
1. Dedication to Rabbi Shlomo Nechmad Yeshivah [in Aleppo] signed by Rabbi Raphael Antebi.
2. Registration and signature: "Final owner, Chaim Shaul Dweik Ha-Cohen". Ink-stamps by Rabbi Dweik "in the holy city of Jerusalem".
3. On third leaf ink-stamp by Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Moses ("Moetzet Gedolei Ha-Torah" secretary) and an inscription in his handwriting:"…belongs to the Kabbalist …Ha-Cohen Dweik …". A few glosses and comments within the book. Part of them signed "Sadeh". On the last leaf lists of Kabbalic novellae. By Rabbi Shaul Dweik Ha-Cohen, signed "Sadeh".
The kabbalist Rabbi Shaul Hayim Ha-Cohen Dweikh (1858-1933). Born in Aleppo. Studied Kabbalah from the greatest Kabbalists in Aleppo. Corresponded in Kabbalah with the sages of "Beit El" in Jerusalem. In 1890 he came to Jerusalem, became one of the sages of Beit El and studied with Kabbalists Rabbi Nissim Ani, Rabbi Vidal Angil and others. In 1896 he established the Rechovot Ha-Nahar Kabalist Yeshiva. He was considered one of the greatest Kabbalists in Jerusalem and admired even by Ashkenazi Kabbalists. In 1900 lost his sight, and in the next 33 years taught and studied only by the power of his memory, and used to proof books he published by hearing only. When still in Aleppo he used to write his novellae in Kabbalah inside his books, and after he became blind his disciples wrote them for him. From sheets such as these, the book "Pe'at Ha-Sadeh" was compiled (2 parts, Jerusalem 1998). See there also photocopies of his handwriting, and the handwriting of his disciples. From the comparison it is clear that significant parts of the glosses are in his handwriting.
[4] (instead of [5], 158, [2] leaves, 33 cm. Fair condition. One title-page missing. Title-page cut on top outside frame. Stains. Half-leather modern binding.
S. Halevi No. 91.

Halachot Rav Alfas, by Rabeinu Yitzchak Alfassi (The Rif). Venice, 1552.
Part of Seder Nezikin volume (Baba Batra – Avodah Zarah).
Many glosses in ancient Italian writing from the period of print.
In the beginning of the year 1553 the Talmud books were confiscated and burnt by order of the Vatican, the leading rabbis continued their studies from the Rif, which were permitted. Thus many compositions were written on the Rif - Shiltei Ha-Giborim, novellae by Rabbi Moshe Kazis, Alfassi Zute and other books. (See enclosed material and see also: A. Ya'ari, Sreifat Ha-Talmud Be-Italia; M. Bnayahu, Ha-Defus Ha-Ivry Be-Crimona; S. Simonson, Toldot Ha-Yehudim Be-Duchasut Mantova). In the volume herewith, the writer tries to reconstruct the Gemarah topics and discuss them in the margins of the Rif, probably due to the command against studying Talmud.
[156-212] leaves only, 36.5 cm. Good condition. White clean leaves. Moth-damages, sometimes with slight damages to text.
Some of the leaves are glued with paper for reinforcement. In Tractate Avodah Zarah there are many censorship deletions.

In the margins there are many scholarly comments in writing characteristic of the mid-19th century. The writer mentions points written in his own novellae and points written on the page. It is obvious from the comments that they were written by a great scholar, he refers to books written in the 19th century (Beit Meir; Sidur of the Gaon of Lissa; response from Harim of Brisk and more).

Meginei Eretz, Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, Parts I-II. With commentary by the Vilna Ga'on and glosses by Ra'aka. (Yohannesburg, Prussia), 1862.
Many glosses (more than one hundred) of scholarly content. The glosses are by four or five writers, most of them by one writer. According to the contents the writer was an extraordinary Ga'on: contradicting and disagreeing with the latter, innovating commentary on the said topics, referring to matters he wrote elsehere in his responses, his novellae and his commentary on other books.
In places where the proofreader contradicts the Vilna Ga'on's commentary, it seems that he is from the Beit Midrash of the Vilna Ga'on and he mentions him with the title "Rabeinu" "Rabeinu Ha-gadol" and other expressions of honor of a disciple to his rav.
Stamps of rabbi "Shmuel Eli' Sochowitzky of Kamerawke" [a village in the suburbs of Minsk]. And signatures by Rabbi Meir Berlin [Bar- Ilan].
[4], 138 leaves;[2] 128, [1] leaf. Quality paper (light regal), good condition, stains and slight damage. All the comments are complete except for those deleted by the writer. New binding with leather spine.
