Auction 14
Lot 067:
Around 30 pages and parts of pages of halacha by Rav Elfas (HaRif), from the 14th century, taken from its binding. With a number of pages of original commentary from one of the Rishonim (or one of the first Achronim) on an issue from Masechet Hulin. The pages are in cursive Sefardi handwriting from the 14th century, on paper. Includes: halachot HaRif on halachot ketanot (almost entirely from Masechet Brachot). Masechet Hulin, and more. In the sheets of HaRif from masechet Hulin, there is a previously unknown halachic article on halachot of Treifut, seemingly from the time of the Rishonim. Though it’s surrounded by text from HaRif, it seems to be an independent work that is not connected to the Rif, but at least to the Rishonim. The author cites the Rambam, the Rosh, and other Rishonim frequently. The nusach of the Rif is similar to that found here, with slight changes. Attached is a study by Rav David Kaminsky on this manuscript.
