Unique Manuscript: Unknown Drashot from a Moroccan Chacham of the 18th Century.
An amazing book of Drashot on the weekly Torah portions, from Parashat Vayikra to Parashat Ha-Azinu, including Drashot for special occasions, such as eulogies, sermons for Shabbat Kallah, Parashat Vayelech and Shabbat Shuva.
The manuscript characterizes the Moroccan tradition of writing sermons in the 18th century, of which the surviving material is limited and important.
The manuscript ends with this signature of Abraham ben Shmuel Halevi.
On page 131b it is mentioned: Servant of Hashem, R' Yitzchak Alkarat. This anonymous figure is mentioned in another antique manuscript, in connection to Sefer Ha-Kavanot of Rabbi Chaim Vital. This manuscript resides in the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York.
177 pages. Good condition.
At the end of the manuscript are notes written in a different handwriting, including an index to this book. It is possible to identify in several places in the book, the completion of missing pages, which were also written in a different handwriting.
