Manuscript, Torah novellae on Tractate Betzah and more, by R. Menachem Tzvi Basch Rabbi of Apostag and his disciples. [Hungary], 1883-1884.
Several booklets, by several writers, bound together. The first leaf, which is dated 13th Adar 1883, is signed by one of the students of R. Menachem Tzvi Basch, who writes that the booklet contains Torah novellae heard from his teacher. The other writers were presumably also disciples of R. Menachem Tzvi Basch, who recorded his teachings or copied his writings. Some of the novellae may have been written by the teacher himself.
Signatures of several disciples in various places in the booklets, dated 1883-1884.
