Last leaf contains ownership notation signed by writer: “Menachem Nachum son of Rabbi Yisrael grandson of Rabbi Moshe… congregation of Chernobyl” – apparently writer is grandson of Rabbi Menachem Nachum the Maggid of Chernobyl. We were not able to identify with certainty the author. It is possible that he is a descendant of Rabbi Menachem Nachum, the Maggid of Chernobyl [the grandson of his son Rabbi Moshe Twerski?], and it is also possible that he is Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Shtefenesht, son of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, whose mother was daughter of Rabbi Moshe of Berdichev, and whose father’s father, Rabbi Shalom of Parovitch was son of the daughter of the Maggid of Chernobyl.
