Detailed
Description		    Apparently unpublished novellae and homiletics from prominent Prague rabbinical leaders and scholars. Each section bears a title with the topic and name of author. The writer describes himself in one title as the son of MaHaRil, presumably R. Leib Kassovitz (d. 1882), who is the author of several pieces and is described with the suffix of the living. As no published works survive of this distinguished scholar (several responsa are addressed to him in the Noda be-Yehudah), this lot represents the only known novellae and homiletics by him.

Also named are a R. Jonathan (Eibeschitz?), R. Abraham Brody (1650-1717), and Gaon, rabbi, and rosh mesivta of Prague?
