An excellent source for Rabbinic history of the 18th-century. The author (1722-1803), was a disciple of the Shagas Aryeh and colleague of R. Chaim of Volozhin. He was appointed Chief Rabbi of the combined communities of Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbeck in 1776. This copy contains only the two final sermons of Raphael HaKohen, and lacks the Hespedim given at his funeral and the biography composed by his son-in-law.
