A Dedication Handwritten by the Chazon Ish to his uncle Rabbi Chaim Leib Katzenelbogin. Kosov, the 17th of Sivan 1912.
"Motzei Shabbat Beha'alotcha… on the day of my sister's marriage. This notebook is sent as a gift in memory of this day, an eternal mark of love. To my dear and honored uncle R' Chaim Leib son of Rabbi Shaul HaLevi Katzenellenbogin. The author".
A poetic and interesting dedication. Presumably, his uncle Rabbi Chaim Leib, who was the younger brother of the mother of the Chazon Ish, went to the wedding of his niece in Kosov, and on that occasion, the author gave him his first book that was published a year previously in Vilna 1911. Interestingly, the Chazon Ish introduced himself as the author of the book to his family although he wished the book to be published anonymously.
A single leaf, without the book.
21X10.5 cm. Very good condition. On the reverse side, a flowery printing of Forzats paper.
