AZULAI, JUDAH ZERACHIA (of Tiberias and Jerusalem)

(BIBLIOGRAPHY)

Jerusalem

19th Century

Manuscript on paper in cursive Sephardic Hebrew script

Catalogue of the printed book and manuscript collection of Rabbi Judah Zerachia Azulai, totaling more than one hundred items, together with a list of books entrusted to a resident of Gibraltar (f.5r). The list includes important classical works in all areas of rabbinica. Many of the manuscripts were to be sold to National European libraries - indeed a note in a later hand indicates precisely where - (including Vienna, Livorno and Jerusalem). At the end of the catalogue is a further list of some forty manuscripts for sale. Many of these manuscripts originally belonged to the "Chida". See Sh. Halevy, Sifrei Yerushalayim no.169, Chidushei Ha-ran, Jerusalem, 1871 which was published from a manuscript in the Azulai Collection
