Holy! Sefer Chidushei Gur Aryeh by the Maharal of Prague, on tractate Shabbas, Eruvin and Psachim, First Edition. Lvov, 1863.

A copy signed by the Tzaddik Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Liska.

Several handwritten glosses also appear in the book, some of them in a much later script and some seem like glosses from the period.

The holy Rav Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Liska [1808-1874] author of ‘Ach Pri Tevuah’ and ‘Hayashar Vehatov’. One of the greatest Tzaddikim of Hungary, a leading disciple of holy Rav the ‘Yismach Moshe’ of Ujhely (Sátoraljaújhely), and a disciple of the holy Rav Rabbi Yisroel of Ruzhin, the holy Rav Rabbi Meir of Premishlan, the holy Rav the Sar-Shalom of Belz, and the holy Rav the Divrei Chaim of Sanz.

Thousands of Chassidim from all over Hungary came to him for blessings and advice. In his days the Chassidus of Liska was most important and renowned in Hungary.

His Gabai and Meshamesh Bakodesh, who grew up on his knees from the age of 12 years until 28 years, was Rabbi Yeshaye’le Kerestir, who used to sign:

הק’ ישעי’ בן מו"ה משה ז"ל שהי’ משמש בקודש אצל הרב הצדיק מליסקא זי"ע, attributing his greatness and many virtues to his holy Rav.
