Anthology of Sermons. Ashkenaz, 1819-1831
Manuscript- sermons for Shabbat HaGadol and eulogy for the gaon Rabbi Hertz Shaier, written by a rabbi in one of the communities in the Mainz district.
The manuscript includes [11] sermons for Shabbat HaGadol that were delivered between the years 1819-1831, and another sermon [p. 11a]: "For the Chevra Kaddisha Gemillut Chassadim 1823 with a short eulogy for the pure and righteous gaon, rabbi of the entire Diaspora, Rabbi Hertz Shaier ztz"l, who was the Av Beit Din in Mentz."
From the eulogy, it appears that the person who delivered it was close to the gaon Rabbi Hertz, possibly his disciple. He mentions in the eulogy that he had previously lived in Mentz "and I heard his Torah" and that he was then a resident of Wally (in the Mainz district) where questions would be sent to Rabbi Hertz. He also mentions some of Rabbi Hertz's Torah thoughts in the eulogy.
Approximately [32] pp. 35x21 cm. Ashkenazic script, rabbinic, cursive and beautiful.
Fine condition: Aging stains, slight tears and creases in the margins. New binding.
