Volume containing two manuscripts bound together: Tolaat Yaakov, by R. Meir ibn Gabbai; and Rashi's commentary to three Megillot. Yemenite script, by two scribes:

• Manuscript, Tolaat Yaakov by R. Meir (Maharam) ibn Gabbai. [Yemen, ca. 18th century].
The manuscript is lacking the beginning, and it begins in the middle of Part II. On the last page (p. 37b) are inscriptions of kabbalistic selections, including an Ilan Sefirot diagram.

• Manuscript, Rashi's commentary to three Megillot – Eichah, Kohelet and Esther. [Yemen, ca. 18th century].
At the end of the manuscript is bound a replacement leaf (at the end of Megillat Esther), apparently written at a later date, with a colophon dated 1779, under which is an ownership inscription. On the verso of the leaf is a Reshut for taking out the Torah at Minchah.

[60] leaves. 21 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains, including dampstains and dark stains. Tears and open tears, affecting text of several leaves. New binding.
