Sefer Hamenucha. Kushta [1718], the personal copy of the holy Gaon Rabbi Nosson Adler, the Rav of Maran the Chasam Sofer, with rare notations handwritten by him from when he was Rav in Boskowitz [1783].

Sefer of commentary and innovations [on the Rambam], on Hilchos Chametz and Matzah, Shofar, Shvitas HeAssor, Sukkah and Lulav, by Rabbi Manoach [ben Yaakov of Narvona]. Yonah Ben Yaakov [Ashkenazi] Press. Constantinople, [1718]. 

The personal copy of the holy Gaon the Kabbalist Rabbi Nosson Adler, the leading Rav of Maran the Chsam Sofer – who wrote by his holy hand on the title page of the 23rd of Adar 1783 "שייך לה"המופלא כ"ה נתן אדליר כ"ץ יצ"ו […] באסקאוויץ".

Written on the title page, is also a gift notation: "[…] להרב אב"ד ור"ם דפה באסקוויץ ה"ה הגאון החסיד מו"ה נתן אדלר נ"י". 

HaNesher HaGadol the holy Gaon Rabbi Nosson Adler held the positon of Rav for two years only, between the years 1782-1785 and this was the only time he held a rabbinic position. At that time, his great disciple Maran the Chasam Sofer moved from Frankfurt to Boskowitz with him to study from him and be his Meshamesh. 

An additional ownership notation on the title page of the Gaon Rabbi Alexander [Ziskind] Aran (1794-1874) who was Av Neis Din of Fergesheim since 1834: "מנחה היא נתו[נ]ה לי מאת הרב הג’ מה"ו אשר אשכנזי זצל"ה דיין בעה"ק ירושלי[ם] פעגערסהיים יום א’ ט"ז שבט תרי"א [1851] ל’ הק’ אלכסנדר".

The holy Gaon HaNesher HaGadol Rabbi Nosson Hacohen Adler (1741-1800) already as a child was renowned as gifted and a rare genius with a tendency to adopt customs of Kedusha and Prishus. Rabbeinu the Chida said that the verse "הנה נא ידעתי כי איש אלקים קדוש הוא עובר עלינו תמיד" refers to him. Founded a yeshiva in his house in Frankfurt and headed it. There, Maran the Chasam Sofer followed him and became his leading disicple calling him "החסיד שבכהונה". The Chasam Sofer also said of him that he was in the level of "ותחסרהו מעט מאלקים".
