Sefer Beit Aharon also called Torat Habayit, by the Gaon Rabbi Aharon Miralesh, on the Dinom of Sefer Torah, Tefilin and Mezuzot, the shape of the letters and more. Berlin, 1829.

A copy with lengthy glosses handwritten and signed by the Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Zvi Weiss, Dayan and Moreh Hora’ah in Munkatch, the Father of Moron the Imrei Yosef of Spinka.

Additional important ownership inscriptions. Yaakov Yitzchak ben Rabbi Ashi. The young Yaakov Yitzchak Chish. 

Appearing at the beginning of the flyleaf is the inscription ‘Belongs to the great Rabbi Shlomo G.F. Abd of Ungvar’ – before us is a signature indicating that the book had belonged to the renowned Gaon Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried author of ‘Kitzur Shulchan Aruch’ the rabbi of Ungvar. Beneath this, an inscription noting that the writer had paid its entire price. In addition, various inscriptions regarding remaining payments and debts for the purchase of the then-expensive book. 

On the margins of the book, a signature combining Hebrew and Latin: Chaim the son of Gabd Mirels. Apparently, it is Rabbi Chaim the author’s son, who signed every copy to prevent theft. [See an article in the blog ‘People of the Book’ (Hebrew) by the director of the Rambam Library R. Avishai Elboim, November 2013].

The Holy Rabbi R. Shmuel Zvi Weiss Domatz of Munkatch, the father of the Holy Rabbi the Imrei Yosef of Spinka. A leading disciple of the Holy Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac of Ziditchov who greatly praised him calling him ‘One of the Sixty Heroes’. In addition, he once said of him and of his brother of Svaliva that they are ‘his two favorite silver candlesticks’.

He also studied Torah with the Holy Rabbi the Bnei Yissachar of Dinov who was Mesader Chupah and Kiddushin at his wedding and with the Holy Rabbi Yehuda Zvi of Rasla. When he lived in Munkatch, many Hassidim and admirers gathered around him and he became known as a miracle-worker.
