The endpapers contain handwritten inscriptions ascribing ownership to R. Aharon David Deutch, rabbi of Balassagyarmat, signed by his student, "Shlomo Stern". [Another signature reads "Shneur Burger"]. The title page contains the stamp of his son, R. Yosef Yisrael Deutch, rabbi of Balassagyarmat. R. Aharon David Deutch, (1813-1878), author of "Goren David", was a prominent disciple of the Chatam Sofer, who praised his great fear of heaven. The Chatam Sofer also stated that he depended on the prayers of R. Aharon David, and on another occasion remarked that he would have a great share in the World to Come. When R. Deutch would visit Pressburg, the Ktav Sofer (son of the Chatam Sofer) would don Shabbat clothing in his honor. In 1846 he became the rabbi in Sebes, and in 1851 he became rabbi in Balassagyarmat, where his officiated until his passing in 1878. [See HaChatam Sofer Vetalmidav, pp. 49-52]. His son R. Moshe Deutch (1846-1931) assisted his father in the administration of his yeshiva, and from 1875 served as rabbi in Salgótarján. His son R. Yosef Yisrael Deutch, (1845-1927) author of "Ben Garni", was rabbi of Szendro, and in 1878 succeeded his father as rabbi of Balassagyarmat.

R. Shlomo of Dubno (1739-1813), disciple of R. Shlomo of Chelm, author of Mirkevet HaMishne, published many books, both his own and books written by others. He was famous for his knowledge of the wisdom of scriptures, mesorah and Hebrew grammar. During the time he stayed in Vilna, the Vilna Gaon asked him to investigate the masoret of Nevi'im and Ketuvim (petuchot, setumot chaserot and yeterot) - see testimony of R. Pesach Pinfer of Vilna (in his article in Beit Va'ad LaChachamim, 1902 and in his book Masoret HaTorah V'Hanevi'im, Vilna 1906). He was one of the editors of the "Biur" on Bereshit by Moshe Mendelssohn, but eventually left him and published Chumashim on his own. He received approbations for publishing these Chumashim from the leading Torah scholars of his times (R. Shmuel Rabbi of Vilna; R. Chaim of Volozhin, R. Zelmele of Volozhin, disciples of the Vilna Gaon; Torah leaders of Vilna, Shklov and Slotzk, the kloiz (small study hall) in Brody; rabbis of Lviv, Berlin, Frankfurt and others).
