The history of the Maya family: Rabbi Yechiel Michl ben Rabbi Leib Maya was born in Frankfurt am Main. After marrying Mrs. Rechl bay Rabbi Zenvil Katz of Lisa, he moved to live near his father-in-law. In [1766] he came to Dyrenfurth, where with his partner he printed the Sefer Chidushei Halachos Maharam Schif. In 1768 he purcahsed the printing house of Dyrenfurth and printed many Seforim. He moved to the nearby city of Breslau, where he opened a bookstore, thus being titled ‘Reb Michel M.S. [=Mocher Seforim (Book-seller)]. After his passing in [1795], his widow and orphans continued to operate the printing house.
The Gaon Rabbi Michael Shimon ben Rabbi Yechiel Michl Maya (passed away in 1833) was the son-in-law of the Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Rappaport Av Beis Din of Leipnik, and the father of Rabbi Moshe Leib Maya , who approbated the Sefer "Ohel Yissachar" (Altona, 1826). His son-in-law, Rabbi Mordechai Lowenstein, eulogized Rabbi Michael Shimon and the eulogy was published in Sefer Misped Mar.
The great Gaon Rabbi Yosef ben Rabbi Yechiel Michl Maya (1764-1810) was the son-in-law of the Gaon Rabbi Yeshaya Berlin (Pik) Av Beis Din of Breslau. Wrote comments on Sefer She’iltot DeRav Acha and with his brother Rabbi Michael Shimon, the Chidushei Hagahos on Arba’ah Turim, which was published anonymously. Rabbi Akiva Eiger visited Rabbi Yosef Maya and later wrote of him "My beloved friend and Rav the great, sharp, knowledgeable Tzaddik Yosef Maya". The Gaon Rabbi Ephraim Margolis wrote of him "The leading Rav". The eulogy for him by his brother, Rabbi Michael Shimon, was published in Sefer Misped Gadol VeChaved Me’od, referring to the diligence and charity of his Tzaddik brother.
