Lot 345:
Manuscript, 7 pages (14 columns) written by hand by the Ben Ish Hai. Around 18 lines per page, drosh from Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with erasures and corrections that are characteristic of his handwriting. Writing in excellent handwriting, bound with nice, fancy binding, size 10x13cm. As is known, on four shabbatot a year: Shabbat Tshuva, Shabbat Zachor, Shabbat HaGadol, and Shabbat Kalah (Shabbat before Shavuot), multitudes of Jews from Baghdad would enter the Beit Knesset HaGadol in the city, in which there were 10,000 seats, and would listen to his droshim.
