Sefer Mor U’Ktziah, section two, Seder Zemanim (on Tur Beit Yosef, section Orach Chaim, chapters 242-697), by Ga’on Rabbi Ya’akov Emden – Ya’avetz. Altona, [1768]. Printed in home of author.
On leaf 97/2: “illustration of borders of Holy Land” – map of Eretz Israel at center surrounded by countries.
On leaves of book: several comments and revisions, in holy handwriting of author, apparently in preparation for printing of additional edition. Some of the corrections do not appear in edition of Mor U’Ktziah (Machon Yerushalayim, 1996), which was printed with additions and corrections from manuscript of author.
Ga’on Rabbi Ya’akov Yisrael Emden – Ya’avetz (1698-1776), eldest son of Ga’on Rabbi Tzvi Ashkenazi author of Chacham Tzvi. Exalted genius, proficient in all realms of Torah, leading Torah giant of his generation, considered one of greatest Achronim. Famous zealot who fought with total devotion against the messianic movement and the Frankists. [When he suspected that Rabbi Yonatan Eibeshitz was drawn into the Sabbatai Zevi messianic movement, he did not hesitate to wage world-war in opposition of a famous Kabbalist and genius, and pamphlets in favor and in opposition of Rabbi Yonatan thunderstruck the entire Jewish world at the time]. Authored dozens of compositions, majority of which were printed in the printing press which he established in his home in city of Altona; these compositions were printed in limited editions and are rare and difficult to obtain. However, despite their scarcity, his halachic compositions, "Sefer Mor U’Ktziah" and "She’elat "Ya’avetz" responsa, his rulings in "Amudei HaShamayim" prayer book and his composition "Lechem Shamayim" on the Mishnayot, were afforded additional publications, and are extensively cited throughout books of rabbinical rulings.
95, 97-99 leaves. 30.5 cm. Majority of book in good condition, with minor moth holes and usage wear, except for title page and first 6 leaves which were taken from another copy, which are in fair condition, with restored damage. New binding.
Attached, two letters of authorization by experts, identifying glosses and their significance.

Sefer Pnei Yehoshua on tractate Ketubot, Gittin and Kiddushin. [Lemberg?, 1809?].
Two erudite glosses in the handwriting of Rabbi Amram Chasida; one signed at end: “Amram”. Binding leaf contains a more recent signature of Rabbi “Shmuel Halberstam” son of Rebbe Rabbi Moshe Halberstam Av Beit Din of Bardejov [1850-1904] and rabbi “Naftali Yisrael son of Rabbi Yitzchak Pinder” [perished in Holocaust]
Holy Ga’on Rabbi Amram Rosenbaum – Rabbi Amram Chasida (1790-1830), among leading disciples of the Chatam Sofer, known for his genius and holiness from youth and referred to as divine “Rabbi Amram Chasida”. It is known that already in childhood he merited the revelation of Elijah the Prophet. Served as Av Beit Din of Mád in Hungary; immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1826 and was Av Beit Din in Safed [responses written to him by the Chatam Sofer are well-known in which he refers to him as “agent of the Almighty, devout Chassid” and praises him with additional expressions and titles which demonstrate the extreme degree of esteem with which the rabbi regarded his student]. Passed away at a young age of approximately forty, and his rabbi, the Chatam Sofer eulogized him and stated: “he utterly sacrificed himself for the Almighty… besides being a notably righteous genius while abroad, also upon immigrating to Eretz Israel his greatness was recognized…”. Many rabbinical families of Hungary descended from him (Rabbi Amram Blum author of Beit She’arim and others).
[Missing title page] 90; 84; 84 leaves, faulty pagination. Fair condition, extensive usage wear. Glosses slightly cut off. Ancient leather binding, slightly worn.
