Second part of Consultas y otras obras en español y portuguez (y hebraico) desde el año 5466-5482 (1706-1722), a manuscript in 2 volumes belonging to the collection of Isaac da Costa that was sold in public auction in Amsterdam, 1861 (cf. Cat. da Costa, p. 106, nr. 2596). Moses Bensabat Amzalak bought this second part later in Lisbon and published it (“Um manuscrito inédito de Isaac Sasportas rabino de Amsterdam no século XVIII”, Revista de Estudos Hebraicos, I, Lisbon, 1928). The first part must have been lost between 1861 and 1928. In 1966 the Ets Haim library purchased the manuscript of the second part.
