Manuscript of Chidushei Sugiot, on Tur Choshen Mishpat and on subject of Petach Patu'ach, in the handwriting of the Ga'on R. Meir Berabi, rabbi of Pressburg. Tevet, 1785.
The novelae on Choshen Mishpat, which have never been printed, deal with subjects discussed in his book Responsa Maharam Berabi printed in the same year (Dyhernfurth, 1785). These novellae were apparently written after the printing of the book.
The Ga'on R. Meir Berabi (1725-1789), was a disciple of R. Yaakov Katz, author of Shev Ya'akov, rabbi and Rosh Yeshiva in Halberstadt. In 1763 he was appointed rabbi of Pressburg, which was one of most prestigious Jewish communities during that period. In Pressburg he became known as one of the Torah leaders of his generation. His Chidushim were printed in Responsa Maharam Berabi, 2 sections. He was succeeded in the Pressburg rabbinate by R. Meshulam Igra.
