Autograph scholarly article in Hebrew, entitled “Toch Kedei Limud” concerning pseudonyms for Maimonides used by Later Rishonim. Signed at end

Sokolow displays his outstanding erudition, criticizing scholars such as J. Reifman, Tzvi Hirsch Chayot and others who contended that HaRav HaBavli cited in the Ittur is Maimonides. Sokolw surmises that this reference is in fact to the scholarly author of many Piyutim, R. Shlomo (b. Yehudah) HaBavli
