Complete Set of Sifrei Leket Hakemach by Rabbi Moshe Chagiz - Amsterdam, 1707 / Hamburg, 1719 / Wandsbek, 1726 - Handwritten Glosses
Four volumes (including one in two copies) - "Leket Hakemach" series by R. Moshe Chagiz (HaKeMaCH is the acrostic of HaKatan Moshe Chagiz). First editions published during the author's lifetime in the cities of Amsterdam, Hamburg and Wandsbek. Sections: Orach Chaim and Yoreh Deah, Even HaEzer and Chiddushei Mishnayot (Section Choshen Mishpat was not printed). Several volumes contain handwritten signatures and glosses.
* Sefer Leket Hakemach, "an abridged compilation of responsa and laws from the later Halachic decisors on the Arbah Turim", sections Orach Chaim and Yoreh Deah, Amsterdam, [1707]. First edition.
Long glosses in Ashkenazic handwriting contemporary to the publication (early 18th century). In a gloss on page 16b, the writer quotes a gloss that he copied from a copy of this book belonging to the rabbi of Hanover in the name of his father, R. Moshe, who quotes R. Lipman Sofer of Frankfurt. Page 57 contains an interesting gloss regarding the laws of ritual purity, where the writer quotes "what I have heard from wise women, and my wife also discussed this matter… the question also arose in Hanover…".
The first title page contains an ownership inscription of "Aharon Yaffe". Both title pages contain signatures of R. Yehuda Wolf Nekorsolmer ben R. Nata Hirtz, rabbi of Schnaittach from 1826, and later rabbi of the kloiz (small study hall) in Furth until his passing in 1880. He was one of the preeminent disciples of R. Wolf Hamburg of Furth.
