Responsum regarding the laws of scribal (Stam) writing, sent to the scribe R. Shalom Yosef Klein.
The renowned R. Avraham Yitzchak Glick, author of Yad Yitzchak (1826-1909) was a leading Hungarian posek. He served as Rabbi of Tolcsva for more than 50 years (from 1858) and was considered one of the foremost poskim in Hungary. Many rabbis took pride in the semicha they received from him, and some Hungarian communities considered a semicha from him as a precondition to appointing a rabbi. He extensively studied the writings of his grandfather, the Maharam Bennet [father of his father-in-law, R. Yeshaya Bennet, Rabbi of Nagykálló (Kalov)], and he published his books: Parshat Mordechai, etc.
