summary

Contains much halachic matter (relating to Kashruth, mikve, kidushin, etc), Talmudic novellae, sermons, homilies for Festivals and copies of letters. Several leaves with notations relating to prayers on behalf of people in need. Rabbi Meir Yitzchak Friedman was a disciple of the Ksav Sofer of Pressburg, R. Hillel Lichtenstein of Kolomea and R. Chaim Sofer. Upon emigration to America he served as Rabbi of Chevra Kadisha Talmud Torah in New York during second half of 19th-century. Toward the end of his life he immigrated to Jerusalem where he produced his work Me’orei Yitzchak (1910). Apparently, no part of the present manuscript has been published.

pp. 248, 195. Signed on vol. II, p. 43 (with the rabbi’s stamp). Ledger-style binding. Folio.
