Pinchas Mordechai Gravsky (1873-1941) was an author and documenter of the life of the Jews in Jerusalem. He was close to rabbis of the Old Yishuv and heads of the Zionist movement, and humanists like Hayyim Nachman Bialik, Eliezer Ben Yehuda, and Rav Kook. Starting in 1893 he collected historic certificates, personal memories, and famous family histories, which he collected from archives, old newspapers, posters, and gossip, as well as testimony. From 1923 onwards he began to print them in these booklets. Different conditions, generally ok.
