Manuscript, novellae on Talmudic topics, by R. Yehuda Segal, including novellae from his teacher the Chatam Sofer. [Pressburg and Ir Chadash (Neustadt, Nové Mesto), 1839-1843].
Novellae on Talmudic topics in tractates Beitzah, Ketubot, Yevamot, Chullin and more, written during the author's years of study in his hometown Ir Chadash, and later in Pressburg, during the final years of the Chatam Sofer's lifetime, and at the beginning of the Ktav Sofer's tenure.
The volume comprises two parts in different handwriting, both by the same writer (a table of contents for both parts appears at the beginning of the volume, with consecutive foliation throughout). The part bound second was written earlier, with an inscription on its first page (p. 65a): "This is my notebook, Yehuda Segal…". The author was presumably R. Yehuda Segal (d. 1876) of Ir Chadash (Nové Mesto), disciple of the Chatam Sofer and of the Ktav Sofer. He later served as dayan in his hometown.
Most of the novellae are the writer's original thoughts, from his time in the Pressburg yeshiva and from earlier periods, though he occasionally quotes teachings from his teachers, including novellae from the Chatam Sofer. These novellae were printed with textual variations in the books of the Chatam Sofer.
The second part was composed in his youth, in Ir Chadash, while the first part was written later, when he was studying in Pressburg. The novellae are dated 1839-1843, most date after the passing of the Chatam Sofer. One later addition dated 1874.
He also quotes novellae from other Torah scholars such as R. Elazar Strasser Rabbi of Ir Chadash (1790?-1849), disciple of the Shemen Roke'ach; R. Meir Sobotischt (d. 1838), a Torah scholar in Ir Chadash and later rabbi of Schächtitz; and R. Shlomo Zalman Bonyhad (d. 1858), disciple of the Maharam Ash Rabbi of Ungvar.
