A large notebook of a manuscript, copy of halachic and responsa novellae by the Rebbe author of Tzemach Tzedek. [C. 1860s - 1870s].
Novellae and responsa of the Tzemach Tzedek edited and printed from 1871, five years after his demise. Many variations from the printed version are found in this manuscript that was copied from the original notebooks that preceded the printing, with copy of the wording of those who asked the questions (and their names) as the author arranged them for print. For example: in the responsa Yore Deah Siman 172, the Tzemach Tzedek responds regarding the laws of building a hot mikveh, in this manuscript (Page 97) the full question is found, with the names of the three people who asked the query. On Page 108 of this manuscript, a question appears signed "Your student Avraham ben Yitzchak Issac of Dubrovno". This query was partially printed in the Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer Siman 117. And many other variations - see attached material.
2-174 leaves. 24 cm. Good-fair condition, wear to several leaves. Without cover, loose leaf binding.
