Autograph of his sefer Divrei Ya’akov , written when he was just a fourteen-year-old youth!! To the best of our knowledge, this sefer has not been printed.
The manuscript opens with an illustrated title page bearing a decorative border: ” Kitvei Kodesh – Divrei Ya’akov , 1894, Kantikoziva, Ya’akov Yisrael.” This is none other than the Admo”r Rabbi Ya’akov Yisrael of Kherson, son of the Admo”r Rabbi Pinchas of Kantikoziva. He was born in 1880 – this means that when he wrote these words, he was fourteen years old.
