Three leaves in the handwriting of Rabbi Eliezer Zusman Sofer Av Beit Din of Paks. [Paks, after 1891].
Three leaves. Three pages of novellae on Talmudical treatises [the novellae were later integrated into his works with slight changes, see attached material]; short inscriptions that he wrote for himself on various subjects [we have not been able to find if they too were later integrated into any of his other writings]. Written on one page is the text to be written on the tombstone of Rabbi Yom Tov Lipman Kern in Rabbi Sofer's handwriting [apparently also his wording].
Rabbi Eliezer Zusman Sofer (1828-1903, HaChatam Sofer U'Talmidav, pp. 63-65), a prominent Hungarian rabbi. His Sandak was the Chatam Sofer, and he also merited studying Torah from him for a short time. After his death, he continued his studies with the Chatam Sofer's son the Ktav Sofer and later became a close disciple of the Maharam Shick. After his marriage, he moved to the city of Paks near his father-in-law Rabbi Yoel Unger Av Beit Din of Halas. There his name began to spread as one of the chief speakers representing Charedi Jews in Hungary. Due to the esteem in which he was held, Rabbi Sofer received rabbinic writs from the cities adjacent to Halas, Földes and Szabadszállás, which agreed to his serving as rabbi of their city on the condition that he visit them periodically and deliver sermons in their cities. In 1886, after the death of his father-in-law, Rabbi Sofer succeeded him in the Paks rabbinate while the cities in the vicinity of Halas continued to be faithful and keep him as their rabbi in spite of the long distance between them. He served as Rabbi of Paks until his death. He wrote many books and was primarily known for his books Yalkut Eliezer, HaMikneh and Et Sofer.
Rabbi Lipman Kern mentioned above was one of the community leaders in Földes and his signature appears on the official rabbinical writ sent from that city to Rabbi Eliezer Zusman Sofer. See attached material.
[5] pages. 34 cm. Brittle paper. Fair-poor condition. Tears (with damage to text). Stains.
