Two handwritten leaves (4 pages), Torah novellae by R. Shmuel Ehrenfeld, the Chatan Sofer (grandson of the Chatam Sofer). Sikso (Szikszó), [Adar II 1872].
The present leaves are presumably from the Chatan Sofer's responsa notebook. The handwriting is identical to that in the picture of his manuscript appearing in the book Chatan Sofer on the Torah (Brooklyn: Shem MiShmuel institute, 2001, p. 12; captioned there "Picture of the author's manuscript").
The present leaves contain a transcript of a responsum the Chatan Sofer sent to his mechutan R. Moshe Eckstein of Szerencs (regarding the honor accorded to Kohanim). This responsum was published (with slight variations) in Chatan Sofer on Shulchan Aruch.
R. Shmuel Ehrenfeld, the Chatan Sofer (1835-1883), grandson of the Chatam Sofer. Outstanding Torah scholar, amongst the leaders of his generation. Served as rabbi of Bethlen, Szikszó and Mattersdorf.
