A leaf handwritten by the Av Beis Din of Brody, Rabbi Meir  Kristianpoler, author of Yad HaMeir, Grandfather of Moron Rabbi Yehoshua of Belz, about Heiter Agunah. 

A completion handwritten by Rabbi Meir Kristianpoler of a responsum by the Gaon author of the Beis Ephraim on the law of the loyalty of a woman who committed adultery to say he has passed away. 

[1] leaf, written on both its sides, 25 cm. This leaf is a completion of a responsum pertaining to an Agunah, whose husband, according to evidence from the Jass community, had passed away. The leaf was written separately since it clarifies that the Agunah had committed adultery and the writes notes that he did not want to include it in the first Kuntres ‘so as not to shame the daughters of Yisroel’. Enclosed is confirmation by an expert indicating that the leaf was handwritten by Rabbi Meir Kristianpoler and information about him.
