[Avodah] R' Yaakov Emden

[Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer]

In the Hagahos R' Yaakov Emden to Gittin 57a (the Agadata on Bilam and 
Posh'ei Yisroel that Onkelos summoned), the new Vagshal Gemaros have two 
passages that do not appear in any of the earlier editions such as the 
Vilna, and even not in the more contemporary editions such as the Oz 
v'Hadar. Even in the Vagshal edition, the second one of those he'aros 
has clearly been censored by whoever added it, as there are two ellipses 
in it - something that you do not find in other he'aros in the "Hagahos 
v'Chiddushim" section. Both passages deal with Shabbetai Zvi. The 
Vagshal "Devarim Achadim" says they added stuff to Hagahos R' Yaakov 
Emden from manuscript. Does anyone know where this manuscript is, 
whether these passages have been previously published, or what was even 
now deemed too sensitive to print? Of course, the juiciest find would be 
that the second passage mentioned R' Yonoson Eyebeschutz or some other 
contemporary...
