<<AUTOGRAPH UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT.>> A commentary to the Shulchan Aruch, with responsa. R. Yehudah Toledano (1749-1820) served in the rabbinate of Meknes and was a prolific writer of rabbinic texts. Yoseph ibn Naim in his work on the history of the Rabbis of Morocco “Malchei Rabanan” states (p. 52) that the ibn Tzur family possessed this manuscript, a text important for the history of the Jews of Morocco citing many rulings and customs of the Rabbis of Fez and Meknes. Also references other rabbinic manuscripts. See also S. Vanunu, Arzei Halevanon, Vol. II, pp. 783-84.
