Manuscript, Emek Yehoshua on the Torah, with Asefat Chachamim, written by R. Yaakov son of Moshe Shabbat. Tagadirt, Akka (Morocco), [1821-1823].
Illustrated title page and colophon (at the end of Emek Yehoshua), with stylized signatures of the scribe.
The manuscript is composed of two parts: Part I comprises selected passages from the book Emek Yehoshua on the Torah. The book was printed in Frankfurt an der Oder, 1699. Some of the passages were reworded. Part II, titled Asefat Chachamim, is a collection of Torah novellae. It was presumably copied from an Ashkenazi manuscript, since it includes novellae of R. Avraham Broda, R. David Oppenheim, R. Yitzchak Rabbi of Lissa, R. Meir Frenkel, R. Naftali Hertz Rabbi of Lviv, R. Avraham Rabbi of Zhovkva and others. Possibly, these novellae or some of them were never printed.
Novellae by another hand were added to the final leaves, some signed: "Avraham son of Moshe Shabbat". Several novellae appear on the leaf following the title page, with the (calligraphic) signatures of R. Yaakov son of Moshe Shabbat.
Later ownership inscriptions of "Avraham Chaim Eliyahu Alfasi".
