The owner's name is signed on top of title-page: Yosef ben Rabbi Akiva Eiger.
Rabbi Akiva Eiger (the first, 1648-1758), among the leading scholars of his generation, was the maternal grandfather of Rabbi Akiva Eiger, Rabbi of Posna (1762-1837), author of Teshuvot Rabbi Akiva and of Derush VeChidush, and father-in-law of the Chatam Sofer.
In the same generation, there was a famous rabbi, of the descendants of the first Rabbi Akiva Eiger, named Rabbi Akiva Eiger (son of R' Wolf), who served as Rabbi of Halberstadt (1764-1824). His son, Rabbi Yosef Aiger (d. 1854) took his place as Rabbi of Halberstadt, and it is apparently he who signed – see enclosed material.
