Handwritten pamphlet. Halachic responsum, handwritten and signed by Rabbi Shlomo Michael Yonah. Torino (Italy), 17th of Tamuz 1770.
A long responsum on the laws of Brit Milah – concerning the father's obligation to the Mohel to circumcise his son. The writer discusses at length all the aspects of the subject and towards the end of the responsum he brings an interesting story from his own city: "I heard and will tell… the story that happened with Rabbi Yitzchak Brachya Canton when he was the rabbi of this place…".
Rabbi Shlomo Michael Yonah, one of the leading Torah geniuses in Italy in the 18th century. Brother-in-law of Rabbi Yechiel Chaim Troyes Av Beit Din of Vercelli. First he lived in Alessandria in Italy where he became very attached to the Chida when he visited Italy. Afterward, he was appointed Av Beit Din of Torino. In that position, he exchanged letters of friendship and esteem with the Chida. In one letter he wrote a special verse of praise in honor of the Chida in which he calls himself "The youngest among the youngest of the youngest of his disciples". The Chida held Rabbi Yonah also in high esteem and wrote to him with extreme fondness. See attached material.
[7] pages. Good condition, spotting and light wear.

Five Books of the Torah, with Rashi commentary and the Messorah marks. [Unidentified edition, apparently Italian print, 17th century].
Incomplete copy, with missing parts at the beginning and end. The sheets of the Chumashim have dozens of glosses in tiny Italian handwriting, most in reference to Rashi's commentary. The glosses were written by a disciple of the Rabach, who mentions his teacher in one gloss: "…difficult…and My Teacher the Rabach answered…". The Rabach – Rabbi Binyamin HaCohen Vitale (1651-1730), disciple of Rabbi Moshe Zakut, eldest of the rabbis and Mekubalim of Italy whose disciples were considered some of the leading Torah scholars in Italy. His disciple and son-in-law Rabbi Yeshaya Bassan was the Ramchal's teacher and the Ramchal also considered himself as his disciple.
A note was found amongst the Chumash leaves with ownership inscriptions of the Fontanella family: "This Chumash belongs to David Fontanella", "Avraham Fontanella ben Rabbi Zechaya…". Apparently, the writer of the glosses in this Chumash was a member of the Fontanella family, the Mekubal Rabbi Israel Berechiah Fontanella (died 1763), who was a disciple of the Rabach and the leading sage in Reggio after the death of Rabach. In 1744, he edited and printed the book Maftechot HaZohar in Venice. Some of his responsa was printed in his teacher's book of responsa (The Rabach's Responsa, Simanim 33, 38) and in the encyclopedia Pachad Yitzchak by Rabbi Isaac Lampronti.
This volume lacks some leaves and begins with Parshat Noach (Sefer Bereshit) and ends at the end of Parshat Chukat (Bamidbar). 19 cm. Fair condition. Spotting, wear, tears with restoration (in some places the text is damaged). Detached leaves, unbound.
