Manuscript by Rabbi Menachem Landau
Manucript, eloquent writing and poetry, copies of tombstones’ wordings, Biblicat novellae, reference compilation and more.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Landau, [Kreshov, 1870-1900].
There is a copy of the book “Ha-Krav” at the beginning of the manuscript, an eloquent piece on the game of checkers, by Ya’akov Eichenbaum. [Was written by a different writer, his erased signature appears on the first page “Avraham Yehoshua?"].
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Landau became rabbi of Kreshov near Pozna in 1877. Many of the tombstones’ inscriptions were the fruit of his literary writing. Among the notes, there is a tombstone inscription which says: “The great Gaon Rabbi… righteous… Rabbi Eliyahu Ya’akov son of Avraham Chaim… passed away in…1900. And was buried [the following day] with great honors and eulogies.”
[136] pages, cm. Blue paper, very good condition. Colorful page cut. Old, glued binding.
