Booklet Handwritten by Rabbi Mazal Tov Modena – Index of Rulings of His Teacher Rabbi Yishmael HaKohen, Author of Zera Emet

Booklet handwritten by R. Mazal Tov Modena, index of responsa and halachic rulings of his teacher, R. Yishmael HaKohen of Modena, author of Zera Emet. [Modena, second half of 18th century or early 19th century].


Contains 87 sections, some including the conclusion of the halachic ruling.
Some of the halachic rulings documented here were printed in the three parts of Responsa Zera Emet, but others were apparently never printed, such as: section 27 (eulogizing a gentile king in the synagogue and using sacred objects), section 33 (that a widower marrying a widow should be particular to marry at the full moon), section 75 (a Torah scroll missing a dot) and sections 86-87 (a communal decision not to allow anyone but the posek to offer halachic rulings, intending to exclude a particular individual).


R. Mazal Tov Modena, disciple of R. Yishmael HaKohen, author of Zera Emet, and his successor as Rabbi of Modena. Leading Italian rabbi ca. 1770s-1830s, invited to Napoleon's Sanhedrin.
