Manuscript – Sefer HaIzkarnot – Skver, 1926
Manuscript, Sefer HaIzkarnot, diverse collection. Rabbi Yitzchak son of Rabbi Aharon [Wallace?] of Skver. [1926].
Illustrated title page with symbol of Star of David, many verses consisting of name “Aharon” [alluding to name of author]. At center of Star of David: “… will be explained according to…, by author…C. Aharon son of Yitzchak of Skver descendant of the Ba’al Shem Tov”. Contains interesting collection, Gematriot [assignation of numeric values to Hebrew letters] and allusions, stories and Chassidic thoughts and more, arranged in alphabetical order. On title page, beneath detail of year: “Demise on 2nd of Shvat 1942”, apparently this refers to death of author. It seems that at least part of the manuscript was written by son of author. Detached leaves; apparently manuscript incomplete. * Attached is a leaf of Divrei Torah from same writer, and additional leaf with various blessings and greetings, in which the numeric value of each sentence in Gematria amounts to detail of year, 1926. * Attached photograph, apparently from family of author.
[35] pages. Various sizes. Fair condition, detached leaves, stains, tears and traces of mildew.
