Shtar tosefet ketuba (Additional document to a marriage contract), from the young man R’ Meir Yaakov son of the deceased R’ Dov Ber, to his wife Mrs. Leah Mindel daughter of the famous philanthropist R’ Tvi Hirsch: , "שיהא עולה בין הכל העיקר עם התוספת סך ארבעה מאות וחמישים רובל כסף, לבד כל בגדי’… וצעיפים ורדידים וכל תכשיטי כסף וזהב ומרגליות השייכים לגופה".
[1] page, 34 cm. Beautiful manuscript, and signature:"אריה ליב באאמו"ר אלעזר זצ"ל",
With the same handwriting at the bottom of the document. The signature is not
definitely verified
clearly encrypted. It is assumed that the writer was
an important personality of the city.
The reason for writing a supplement to the Ketubah to the original one is explained in the document: : "יען כי אמרו חכמים ז"ל לכתוב לכל הנשים כתובות שוות בכדי שלא לבייש את מי שאין לו לכן לא כתבתי סך התוספת הנ"ל בתוך עיקר כתובתה הנ"ל" (Since the Sages z"l said to write for all woman
identical Katubah’s in order not to embarrass those that don’t have more, therefor the amount of this additional amount was not written in the main document).
Fold marks, stained. Good condition.
