Manuscript, "Sefer Mizmor di Buda, done by myself Shmuel David Marini. the custom is to recite this hymn in the month of Elul because of the troubles of the Padova community and G-d had compassion on them and redeemed them…therefore we say this hymn to thank G-d". [Padova], 1849.
the manuscript contains a hymn which the Padova community were accustomed to reciting in commemoration of the miracle performed for the community. During the Austro-Turkish war, a rumor spread that the Jews assisted the Turks in their struggle against the Christians during the battle over the city of Buda (Budapest) which incited masses to break into the Jewish ghetto in Padova on the 10th of Elul 1684. the Jews were miraculously saved from the massacre and the festival of "Purim Buda" was instituted and celebrated by Padova Jews each year on this date, in commemoration of this miracle. the entire story is described at length in the book "Pachad Yitzchak", by Rabbi Yitzchak Chaim Cohen MeHachazanim (Cantorini), Amsterdam 1785.
[3] pages. 13 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and worming. Cardboard binding.

Manuscript, Ho'il Moshe, "Comments and simple interpretations" on the Five Books of the Torah, by Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak Ashkenazi. Trieste, [c. 1864-1878].
thick volume in the author's autographic writing, with erasures, glosses and additions by Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak ben R' Shmuel Tedsky-Ashkenazi (1821-1898), rabbi and teacher in Trieste, Italy. Also authored books on the rest of the Bible, and other works.
the year 1864 appears on the title pages, but the author continued to proofread and correct the manuscript for many years thereafter (Leaf 2 includes an addition from 1878).
At the beginning of the manuscript, the author presents correspondence with Shadal as to the book and writes that he does not intend to print the book in his lifetime. He requests that the work be printed after his death “and should be a lasting memorial for him because he does not have a son to remember his name…”. In spite of this, the book was printed in his lifetime in Livorno, in 1881 (seven additional parts on Nevi’im and Ketuvim were printed between 1870-1892, in Gorizia, Cracow, Przemyśl and Padova).
Enclosed with the manuscript are leaves in the handwriting of the author with various novellae and commentaries on the Scriptures.
[218] leaves (most are written on both sides). 22 cm. Good condition. Stains and light wear. Detached leaves and binding. Damaged binding.

the first book printed by Rabbi Emmanuel Chai Ricci before his first move to Eretz Israel.
On the leaves are corrections and glosses in Italian writing, apparently in the author’s own handwriting. In one gloss, he mentions his phenomenal composition on the Mishnayot. these corrections and glosses appear in “the Second Chart of Errors” that was later appended to some copies of his book. Some glosses appear there with variations.
Rabbi Raphael Emmanuel Chai Ricci (1688-1743, Otzar HaRabbanim 16746), a great rabbi and mekubal in Italy and Eretz Israel; wrote many books on revealed and hidden Torah topics. His book “Mishnat Hasidim” is one of one of the basic books on kabbalah.
Emmanuel Chai Ricci moved to Eretz Israel twice during his life. He first arrived at Safed in 1718, but in 1720 an epidemic broke out in Eretz Israel and he was compelled to return to Europe. In 1735 he set out for Palestine for the second time. He spent time traveling, collecting money for a Yeshiva in Jerusalem, and in 1743, when he was on his way back to Eretz Israel he was killed by robbers. It is told that he died for Kiddush Hashem. See enclosed material.
36 leaves, 21 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains, tears and worming in several places. Unbound.
