Lot 157:
Chiddushei Torah in pretty, uniform Italian script, handwritten by Rabbi Shlomo Michael Yonah of Turin (Torino). On laws of purity for a woman. Written on one page of a piece of paper folded into four, stains. The text is readable and in good condition.
Rabbi Shlomo Michael Yonah, Av Beit Din of Torino, an Italian sage of the 18th century. Brother-in-law of Rabbi Yehiel Haim Trivish, Av Beit Din of Vircelli. He first resided in Alessandria, Italy, and learned under Rabbi Eliyahu HaLevi. When HaHida came there they met one another and exchanged letters of friendship. One of the letters was a song of praise which he wrote especially for HaHida. HaHida really appreciated him and wrote very nice things about him (Encyclopedia of Italian Sages, p. 480).
