Autographic handwriting of the Chatam Sofer. 3 pages. Novellae on an entire discussion of laws of interest in Tractate Bava Metzia, in his handwriting.
These novellae were printed with slight changes of wording, in the book Chatam Sofer, Chidushei Sugiyot. (Jerusalem, 1993).
The Chatam Sofer was accustomed to writing his novellae, responses and classes in an organized fashion. As he writes in one of his famous letters: "I write, with ink on paper, all the wisdom that Hashem has granted me, be it in halacha or aggada, and anyone who wants can come and copy it. This is what our grandfathers did before the invention of the print". His novellae on Talmudic topics had the unique quality of being written from beginning to end in nice handwriting. His descendants were used to preserving his manuscripts, saying that they are beneficial in bringing Fear of Heaven and help and salvation from Hashem.
3 pages 25.5 cm. Very good condition. Thin, high quality paper, slightly worn by time.

Collection of manuscripts, novellae on the Torah, Pirkei Avot, and Shas, by Rabbi Moshe HaLevi Segal of Novomesta, close disciple of the Chatam Sofer.
Part of the manuscript is in his handwriting, and the rest is copying of his teachings, written in several different handwritings, together with comments and additions in his handwriting. In the margins of one of the pages with copyings, there is an ink-stamp of Rabbi Yisrael ben Rabbi Aharon Segal – this is probably his grandson, Rabbi Yosef Yisrael ben R' Aharon Hamburger, who was one on the copiers.
It is clear that the texts are copyings of his teachings, since his sons are mentioned: "my son Pinchas" "my son Avraham Aryeh", there are also many citations of his master the Chatam Sofer.
Rabbi Yehuda Moshe HaLevi Hamburger (1801-1888) was a holy and G-d-fearing man, brilliant and diligent, cherished disciple and assistant of the Chatam Sofer, who nick-named him Moshe Ir Chadasha – which caused him to change his name to Moshe Segal Novomesta. He studied in the yeshiva of his master, and was one of the closest frequenters of his rabbi's household for over 20 years. In 1857, he made aliya to Jerusalem and was one of the founders of Kollel Shomrei HaChomot – for Hungarians. See about him at length in The Chatam Sofer and his Disciples, pages 354-357, and in enclosed material.
77 large leaves, varying sizes. Fair condition. Some of the leaves are torn with omissions, filled with paper. Bound together in a new binding.

Manuscript – novellae on various portions of the Talmud, novellae and copies of teachings by the Chatam Sofer. [Hungary], after 1820.
On leaf 6a: "And the veteran student R' Bezalel Breuer asked…" the idea which follows can be found in the novellae of the Chatam Sofer on Tractate Bava Metzia, leaves 61-62, where he writes this idea (in different words) in the name of his disciple Bezalel Breuer, a student who died at a young age in 1806. This is evidence that the notebook we are holding belonged to one of the Chatam Sofer's disciples, many of whom used to copy their master's teachings.
Leaf 6b: Citation of Rabbi Wolf Baskowitz, in the book Seder HaMishna. Rabbi Wolf died in 1918, and his book was published in 1920.
Writer's signatures: Mordechai Leib Greenwald, Mordechai Leib of Santov, Hungary. (This name is not mentioned in the book "The Chatam Sofer and his Disciples").
Additional owner's signatures: Shlomo Figel.
Inscription of owner's name in (Hungarian letters?): Max (Marcus) Greenwald. Samuel Shreiber Pressburg. He could possibly have been Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Binyamin Sofer, author of the Ktav Sofer – not certain. [Shreiber is Yiddish for Sofer – scribe, and Pressburg was the Ktav Sofer's city of origin.]
48 pages, 22.5 cm. Fair condition, green-grey paper, stained by time and wear. New colorful paper cover.

She'erith Yosef Responsa by Rabbi Yosef ben Gershom Katz. Fürth, 1767. Second edition.
Inscription on page attached to title-page: "I testify regarding this book, She'erith Yosef… that it belongs to the great Rabbi Moshe Sofer from Frankfurt am Main, Rabbi here in Pressburg".
The previous page includes various inscriptions in Hebrew and other languages: "Belongs to the great luminary… Rabbi Moshe Sofer".
"This book belongs to the ga'on and tzaddik…from the Chatam Sofer's family, Moshe Shmuel Glazner, Rabbi of Klausenburg and environs."
Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glazner (1857-1925, Otzar HaRabbanim 15664), was a grandson of Rabbi David Tzvi Erenfeld of Pressburg, son-in-law of the Chatam Sofer. He filled the place of his father, Rabbi Avraham Glazner, in the Klausenburg rabbinate since 1878. Author of "Dor Revi'i" (lit. "Fourth Generation", since he was the great grandson of the Chatam Sofer). The verse "and the fourth generation shall return hence" was fulfilled by him, since he returned to Jerusalem and is buried there.
