Two manuscript volumes, halachic responsa by R. Avraham David Revach. [Morocco, first half of 20th century].

Responsa Vayaan Avraham (Djerba, 1950) was edited for print based on these volumes, but the responsa are ordered differently than in the printed version. The manuscript contains editorial inscriptions in several places by the author's son-in-law and publisher of the book, R. Shimon HaKohen.
At beginning of one volume, stamp of author: "Avraham Revach, dayan and posek in the city of Settat".
R. Avraham David Revach (1883-1938), author of Vayaan Avraham and LeAvraham LeMiknah. A Salé-born Moroccan rabbi, he was a disciple of R. Refael Ankawa and was ordained as shochet by R.

He later served as rabbi in Settat, Morocco until his passing. The responsa in the present volumes were written in his later years in Settat.
