Manuscript, Novellae on Topics of Tractate Ketubot, by a Disciple of the Chatam Sofer - Pressburg, 19th Century
Manuscript, novellae on Talmudic topics, handwritten by an unidentified author - presumably a disciple of the Chatam Sofer. Pressburg, [after Tishrei 1839]. A number of leaves (not a complete composition), containing novellae on Talmudic topics of Tractate Ketubot. Author's autograph. We were unsuccessful in identifying the author, though he appears to be a disciple of the Chatam Sofer. One heading mentions the place of writing as Pressburg. The writer quotes "My master, teacher and rabbi" - referring to the Chatam Sofer. On p. 2a, he writes: "I saw in the writings of my master, teacher and rabbi, of blessed memory…". On p. 4a, he writes: "See the responsa of my master, teacher and rabbi, of blessed memory, printed with the Ri Migash", in reference to the responsa and novellae of the Chatam Sofer printed at the end of the book Chiddushim al Masechet Shevuot L'Ri Migash (Prague, 1825). Since the Chatam Sofer is mentioned as having passed away, this manuscript is dated after Tishrei 1839 (time of the Chatam Sofer's passing). Collection of leaves (not complete). 4, [3] leaves (altogether 13 written pages). 22 cm. Fair condition. Stains. Tears and wear. Tears affecting text in several places.
