The next subsection are Hebrew manuscripts and autograph letters (Lots 68-98). This includes Chassidic materials, Synagogue Pinkas record books, and two very sweet Italian liturgical manuscripts (lots 82 and 83).
Lot 99 commences the section of Printed Books in which both Hebrew texts and books in a multiplicity of other languages are combined. Sprinkled throughout are books from the library of the late Haham Solomon Gaon, especially Sephardic texts, many of which carry inscriptions from the Authors.
