Rare glosses from the days of Rav Ovadia Yosef’s youth in his handwriting on questions and answers in “Sha’arei Rahamim,” the personal copy of the Kabbalist HaRav Shaul Doyk HaCohen.
Questions and answers of “Sha’arei Rahamim” printed in Jerusalem 1902. Published by the son of the compiler HaRav Meir Rabbeinu Franco. There are three glosses with writing in the handwriting of a Mizrahi Jerusalemite, 2 of which are signed by the youthful signature of Ovadia Yosef (according to the testimony of Rav Shaltiel Amar, he would use the signature only until he reached age 20) during his time at the Porat Yosef yeshiva in the Old City. Very rare for there to be writings of his from such an early age. Original binding, the copy is missing the title page and first page, a few defects and uses glue for strengthening.
