Summary
Add Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865–1935) as the third writer. Kook is the founding Chief Rabbi of British Mandatory Palestine and a prolific correspondent; four PDM-1.0 pages are already in the upstream repo. His handwriting is dense, compressed rabbinic-Ashkenazi — a genuinely different style from both Bialik and Rachel — making him a high-value third data point for style diversity.

Ingest notes
- Start with
commons__rav_kook_shemitah_letter__p0001 (explicitly noted as high-resolution in the upstream source description)
- Rabbinic handwriting is typically compressed and ligature-heavy; final forms (
kaf_final, mem_final, nun_final, pe_final, tsadi_final) appear distinctively at line ends and are worth careful attention
ayin and tet take stylised rabbinic forms that can look unfamiliar — document in quality.notes where relevant
letter.style should reflect rabbinic Ashkenazi cursive
