Summary:
Fragment of manuscript work on Jewish education, rhetoric, and youth; the author was a Jewish educator originally from Chtelnica, Slovakia (also known as Vittenc, Hungary; his autograph on f. 2v: "ה' חנני ישעי' מארגינשטערן יע"א מוואכטערליטץ פה פרעסבורג יע"א"; the Yiddish toponym for Chtelnica was derived from its German name, Waechterlitz). The work was written in a rhetorical style, with quotes from verses and Talmudic extracts, and accompanied by elaborative Yiddish translations; verses include Genesis XXVIII:20-22, Jeremiah IX:22-23, and Job XXXII:6; Talmudic quotes include Nedarim 62b, "שרי ליה לצורבא מרבנן למימר צורבא מרבנן אנא שרו לי תיגראי ברישא", and Berakhot 64a, "תלמידי חכמים מרבים שלום בעולם", among others. Written in a cursive Yiddish script; quotes in a square Hebrew script; item worn, and slightly cropped at bottom.
