Sefer Sha’ar HaMelech, section I, Brünn, 1801. The personal copy of the holy Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Yosef Hoffman ‘The Dayan of Pápa’, with short glosses handwritten by him.
Stamps of the Dayan of Pápa on the title page and at the beginning of the Torah innovations on leaf 1; several short glosses handwritten by the Dayan of Pápa whose manuscripts are considered an excellent protection, slightly erased yet some are readable. Additional notations in Hebrew and a foreign language.
The Holy Gaon Rabbi Moshe Yosef Hoffman "The Dayan of Pápa" [1843-1928], his rabbis said that he was a Kaddosh Merachem who was recognized by his holiness his entire life. He received his Semicha by his great Rav the Mahari Assad, serving as Rosh Yeshiva in his city of Serdahely. Since 1882 until 1906 he served as Dayan and Moreh Tzeddek in Pápa and in 1906 immigrated to the Holy Land, living in Jerusalem and studying Torah in the Beis Midrash of the Basei Ungarin neighborhood. He used to sit all day with his Tefillin and write hundreds and thousands of leaves with Torah innovations, which were kept in the attic of the synagogue until disappearing from there. His great diligence and piety were wonderous. Gaon in Nigleh and Nistar. A modest man who merited seeing Eliyahu. A wonder-worker.
