Four large pages in characteristic dense script – novellae by the Chatam Sofer on Tractate Nedarim, handwritten by the gaon of geonim , the Mahara”m Schick, one of the greatest rabbinic leaders of the generations ever.
This manuscript contains Torah novellae per the arrangement of the leaf in Tractate Nedarim (leaves 60-62). They deal with the laws of Passover (whether a person who has taken an oath not to eat meat or drink wine is permitted to eat the Passover sacrifice and drink the four cups) and the laws of shemittah (“… the blessing for growth in the sixth year for two years would have been sufficient – for the seventh and the eighth years, but Hashem added a blessing for three years, due to the jubilee year [שנת היובל]…).
Rhyming [in Hebrew] notation at the top of the leaf: “Blessed is He who allowed us to plant a vine/ and accompanied us through the chapter “HaNoder min HaYerek, “/ May He place his eye upon us for the good / for the next part, Chapter “Konem Yayin.” (It is interesting to note that in some of the printed works by the Chatam Sofer, there is a slight difference in the wording: “… chapter “HaNoder min HaYayin).
