Melo Ha’omer, chiddushim and commentary on the Torah and Megillos. Written by Rabbi Arye Leib Tzintz (the Mahar’al). Pest, 1928.

There’s a separate title page for every Chumash. The commentary on the Megillos are spread out among the Chumashim, based on the order of their reading during the year. The Sefer carries approbations from the Gedolim of the generation, including from the Saraf of Moglenitza and the Gaon Maharam Banet.

Stamps: “Bochurim society of the high Yeshiva of Soltvadkert". Notable Ex libris from the War years: Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Pollak, son of the Gaon Rabbi Yeshaya Pollak, Av Beis Din of Soltvadkert, and the signature of Meir HaKohen Gross, from the students in the yeshiva there.

The holy Gaon Rabbi Aryeh Leib Tzintz – the Mahar’al (1768–1833) from the greatest Geonim of POland. Born in Pintchow. Little is known about his first years. As an adult he traveled to Prague, where he became close friends with the holy Noda BiYehuda, who also wrote an approbation for his sSefer ‘Ya’alas Chen’, in which he writes: “even though, due to a reason I keep hidden,   I have held myself back from giving an approbation to a new Sefer that has never been published before, but I had not had this great man in mind… I retract my will to do his bidding, for he is worthy.” We also find that the Gaon Rabbi Akiva Eiger spoke of him “for he is one f the greatest of the time.” Later he traveled to Pressburg and remained there until he was called, in 1775, to serve as Rabbi of Plotzk (Płock). Several years later (during which he served as Av Beis Din of several other communities) he made Warsaw his home, and even established a Yeshiva there. Some of his greatest disciples were the Chiddushei Harim of Gur and the holy Rabbi Avraham of Chechnow.
