Description
Autograph Manuscript on paper. With note in a later Sephardic hand in blue ink on top of the page stating, “Zeh K[ethav] Y[ad] Harav Chid”a za”l.”
summary
Written in note-form, concerning religious debates: Noting that "R. Jonathan neiro yair” (undoubtedly a reference to Jonathan Eybescheutz), sought to prove to a Christian clergyman the age of the world. The Chid”a cites a debate R. Chaim Cohen had with the King of France concerning the covering of the head as well as observations concerning Jesus. Also noted here are incidents concerning events in Lithuania and Poland; and short responsum from the work of R. (Aaron) ibn Sasson and the Mahrsha"l (R. Shlomo Luria)
