(*) Ezra Attia Pizmonim Manuscript- "Sassoon Manuscript 609"- 1845- Contributed by Alberto Attia, San Diego- From Alberto Attia: "Here
is a short synopsis of the life of my Great-Great Grandfather Hakham Ezra
Attia. We don't know the exact date in which he was born, but he passed
away in 1875. He was the son of R’ Yeshayah Attia (Bekhor Yishaya) born in
1773. Being the first born, Hakham Ezra should have been born around 1798.
His second son Hakham Yehudah Aslan of whom we have one of his Pizmonim
manuscript books posted in the website was born in 1829. Since his son's
book is dated 1858, Hakham Ezra's manuscript should be dated somewhere
between 1835 and 1840. (*) Moshe Ashear Pizmonim Manuscript- 1926- Contributed by Joseph E Mosseri, New York.
