R. Yedidia Tia Weil (1722-1806), leading Torah scholar of his times, son of R. Netanel Weil author of Korban Netanel, and close disciple of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz. He exchanged halachic correspondence with the Noda BiYehuda and the Haflaa. He succeeded his father in 1770 as rabbi of Karlsruhe and of the State of Baden. See previous item.
R. Yaakov Weil, whose signatures appears in these books, was possibly the grandson of R. Yedidia Tia Weil - R. Yaakov (Yukev) Weil (d. 1851), an outstanding Torah scholar in Karlsruhe, author of Torat Shabbat and other works. However, it may have also been a different member of the family of the Korban Netanel.
