Fine signature at head of title page: “Netanel son of holy beloved father” – apparently signature of the Ga’on Rabbi Netanel Weil author of “Korban Netanel”, who refers to his father in his signatures as “holy” since he died as a martyr.

When he was five years old his father died as a martyr during the pogroms which took place in his city. At the age of ten was sent by his mother to Prague, where he became prominent disciple of Rabbi Avraham Brodie, Av Beit Din of the city. Following the demise of his rabbi he succeeded him in delivering classes to disciples of his Yeshiva in Prague [together with Rabbi Yehonatan Eibeshitz]. Following expulsion of Jews from Prague, was appointed Av Beit Din in Mahringen in district of Schwarzwald, and afterwards moved to serve as Av Beit Din of Karlsruhe and the region. Was especially famous for his comprehensive composition on laws of the Rosh ‘Korban Netanel’ which was printed in editions of the Shas. During the course of his lifetime was forced to wander while enduring great hardships; his life was in danger a number of times but he was miraculously saved. It is related that at the time of his burial a miracle occurred and the funeral participants’ way was shortened [kfitzat HaDerech]; this is hinted to in the epitaph upon his tombstone.
