Zikukin D'Nura U'Vaorin D'Esha – Prague, 1676 – Signatures and Ownership Inscriptions

Zikukin D'Nura U'Vaorin D'Esha, commentary on Tana D'Vei Eliyahu, by R. Shmuel Heide. Prague, [1676].
The text of Tana D'Vei Eliyahu proofread and corrected, surrounded by an extensive commentary. R. Shmuel Heide edited the original text of Tana D'Vei Eliyahu and changed it fundamentally. As he writes in his preface, his corrections were based on his own judgement and on heavenly revelations he experienced. The new wording of Tana D'Vei Eliyahu was printed together with the old, original text (each chapter begins with the old version, followed by the newer version with the commentary of the author).
Several trimmed marginal notes in Ashkenazic script. Signatures and ownership inscriptions on the title page: "The great R. Yisrael [Katz?]", "So says Chanoch Henich Segal", "Of R. Itzek Landsberg" [R. Yitzchak Aharon Landsberg (1804-1879, Otzar HaRabbanim 12247), known as "Itzek Landsberg", rabbi of Grosswardein (Oradea), learnt by the Chatam Sofer for ten years and was one of his regular Shabbat guests. Served as rabbi of Gyömöre, Frauenkirchen and Grosswardein].
