Lot 328

Manuscript, Commentary on Simanei Haseder and Chad Gadya – Italy, 19th Century

Manuscript, commentary on the Passover seder mnemonic (Kadesh URechatz) by R. Yitzchak Finzi, and commentary on Chad Gadya by R. Shmuel Yehudah Matzliach Kohen. [Italy, 19th century].

Neat Italian script. This commentary also appears in the UCLA Ms. (779 bx. 5.4). The NLI catalog attributes the work to R. Yitzchak Finzi. This commentary has evidently not been published.
After the commentary on the Passover seder mnemonic appears a commentary on Chad Gadya by R. Shmuel Yehudah Matzliach Kohen (an 18th-century rabbi of Mantua, disciple of the Zera Shimshon). This commentary has been published (from his manuscript) in Mikavtze'el, XXXI (Nisan-Tamuz 2005).

[8] leaves (first leaf blank). 21 cm. Good condition. Stains and some wear.
