Including buyer's premium
Leaf (two written pages, 34 lines), handwritten by R. Pinchas HaLevi Horowitz Rabbi of Frankfurt am Main, the Haflaa – novellae on Tractate Sukkah, folio 9a, and commentary on Tosafot, Tractate Pesachim folio 66b.
The contents of this leaf were not published in Chiddushei Haflaa on the Talmudic tractates, 1900 and 1994, and were presumably not published anywhere else.
This leaf was presumably part of a manuscript volume in possession of R. Efraim Zalman Horowitz of Komarno, descendant of the Haflaa. Parts of that volume (mainly the halachic sections of the manuscript pertaining to Orach Chaim and Yoreh De'ah) were published in Chiddushei Haflaa (Munkacs, 1895; the Talmudic novellae were not included, due to lack of funding).
R. Pinchas HaLevi Ish Horowitz, the Haflaa (1731-1805), rabbi of Frankfurt am Main, then the Torah center of Germany. He was the prime teacher of the Chatam Sofer and a prolific author, revered by all Torah leaders of his times.
[1] leaf (two written pages). 19 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Dampstains. Marginal tears, not affecting text.
