Long and diverse manuscript in pretty Italian script, handwritten by two Italian rabbis of the 18th century.


one Leaf broken up into four columns, three of which are from the well-known sage
Rabbi Matityahu Nissim Tirani, author of the Shut Sfat Emet, written in Italian with inset Hebrew script. Content not checked thoroughly, seems to mix chiddushei torah with poems.

The fourth column has two poems in Hebrew and one in Italian, handwritten and signed by the sage Rabbi Avraham Sinigaglia. One of them is “for the wedding of the groom … Yehuda … with the modest bride…Yemina…”. Handwritten and signed by the sage.

When the leaf is fully opened the dimensions are 28x39cm.

Creases, a few tears at the edges, stains, overall good condition.
