There is one thing that never really
made its way to Morocco that because of
it so many of these are unknown and that
is something called the printing press.
The printing press never made it to
North Africa. So most of the the most of
the manuscripts of these GDM
unfortunately remained in manuscript
form and over the years they were lost
they were buried they were scattered and
unfortunately
The names of these sages were forgotten.
There's one notable exception.
Had it not been for a stroke of Hashkah,
probably you never would have heard.
But at the end of life in the year 1742,
one year before his passing
decided he's going to make aliyah, he's
going to move to Israel. That's by the
way where the learned from for one year
in Israel
goes
through Italy. He stops off in Venice.
In Venice he encounters the printing
press. So he sends his manuscripts. He
prints.
Hades
not made his way through Italy, you
never would have heard of him. That's an
amazing ashk.
