Musar su Shevi'it 10:5
פְּרוֹזְבּוּל הַמֻּקְדָּם, כָּשֵׁר, וְהַמְאֻחָר, פָּסוּל. שִׁטְרֵי חוֹב הַמֻּקְדָּמִים, פְּסוּלִים, וְהַמְאֻחָרִים, כְּשֵׁרִים. אֶחָד לֹוֶה מֵחֲמִשָּׁה, כּוֹתֵב פְּרוֹזְבּוּל לְכָל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד. חֲמִשָּׁה לֹוִין מֵאֶחָד, אֵינוֹ כוֹתֵב אֶלָּא פְּרוֹזְבּוּל אֶחָד לְכֻלָּם:
Un Pruzbul precedente è efficace, ma uno postdatato è inefficace. I documenti di prestito precedenti sono inefficaci, ma quelli postdatati sono efficaci. Se uno prende in prestito da cinque persone diverse, un Pruzbul deve essere scritto per ciascuno [dei finanziatori] individualmente. Se cinque prendono in prestito da una persona, solo un Pruzbul può essere scritto per tutti.
Orchot Tzadikim
The eighth category of falsehood is he who boasts of qualities that he does not possess. And this is a great sin. And even if he really possesses these qualities when he praises himself it appears from his words that he did not do his charitable or generous acts for the sake of Heaven, but for his own sake, for his own praise. And our Sages, of blessed memory, said, "He whom others honor because they believe that he knows two tractates of the Talmud, and he knows only one tractate, is obligated to say, 'I know only one tractate' " (T.P. Shebi'ith 10:5). All the more so is it forbidden to lie and to boast about qualities that one does not possess at all.
