Manuscript, copying of the songs of the Chatam Sofer, with a commentary by the author, R. Moshe Sofer Rabbi of Pressburg. Pechy Neudorf (present day: Pečovská Nová Ves, Slovakia), 1865.

Neat calligraphic square and semi-cursive (Rashi) script. Inscription on front endpaper: "Meir son of the late R. Sh. Diamant", possibly the writer.
The songs of the Chatam Sofer were first published in Shirat Moshe (Pressburg 1857), yet it didn't include all the songs found in the present manuscript, and the author's commentary. Only in 1977 was an expanded edition of Shirat Moshe HaShalem published, including all the songs and the commentary.
At the end of the manuscript, two pages in cursive script with additional prayers and an incantation.
R. Meir Diamant whose signature appears at the beginning of the manuscript was presumably the son of R. Shabtai Diamant, disciple of the Chatam Sofer and rabbi of Pechy Neudorf in 1850-1865. R. Shabtai was the son-in-law of R. Shlomo Ganzfried, and his novellae were published in Lechem VeSimlah.
