Hebrew Illuminated Manuscripts  Permission for Agunah to Remarry, Istanbul (Constantinople), 1869

© Gross Family Collection, Photographer: Unknown, -

The following description was prepared by William Gross:

Handwritten booklet, halachic ruling permitting an agunah to remarry. Constantinople, 1869.

Two testimonies in Ladino about an absent husband who disappeared in a sinking ship, with a copy of the signatures of the dayanim, Torah scholars in Constantinople: Rabbi Avraham Gershon, Rabbi Chaim Yitzchak Kimchi and Rabbi Nissim Menachem Nigrin. Afterwards is a long response, permitting the woman to remarry, by Rabbi Nissim Chaim Nigrin. Apparently, the whole booklet is in his handwriting.

This halachic ruling has been printed in shortened versions and with changes in the responsa Yismach Lev by Rabbi Shalom Moshe Chai Gagin (Even HaEzer, Siman 5), who writes at length on this ruling and is joined by Jerusalem Torah scholars, Rabbi Avraham Ashkenazi and Rabbi Ya'akov Shaul Elyashar
