* She'erit Ya'akov, homiletics on the Torah, Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael Elgazi. Livorno, [1790]. Bound with: Imrei Shefer, Volume 3 of Kehunat Olam by Rabbi Moshe HaCohen. Constantinople, [1740]. (Coarse tears and tear offs to last leaves of second book).
Dozens of glosses in Oriental handwriting, some start with the word "Itan"[Hebrew acronym of Ya'akov Toviana said]. On title page, a sharp comment was written intended for the publisher: "It is a presumption that an unlearned man does not produce a faultless product and besides for the many printing mistakes, the indexes are all mistaken and tiring to find anything". [He means that the indexes were copied as they were in the previous edition, Constantinople 1851, but do not match this edition as the publisher apologizes on the approbation leaf]. Stamp "Ya'akov Shoshana… RABBIN".
* Yad Moshe, homiletics on the Torah, Rabbi Chaim Moshe Amarilio. Salonika, 1751. Many glosses by two writers. One is Rabbi Ya'akov Toviana and the second is unidentified.
