Autograph Manuscript Signed, written in German and Hebrew. Three thick volumes (circa 922 pages), also containing a great many additional autograph notes and letters laid in.

Raphael Breuer (1881-1932), district rabbi of Aschaffenburg in Bavaria, was the elder brother of R. Joseph Breuer of New York and the son of R. Salomon Breuer (son-in-law of R. Samson Raphael Hirsch and his successor as rabbi in Frankfurt). Raphael was a renowned Bible commentator and preacher in the Hirschian tradition who published commentaries on the Five Scrolls, the Former Prophets, and the books of Ezra and Nehemiah - but not on the Pentateuch. Present here is a treasure-trove of fourteen full years worth of Sabbath sermons which include a profusion of original Torah interpretations, none of which has been published to date.
