Sefer Shev Shmat'ta by Rabbi Aryeh Leib Hacohen Heller author of "Ketzot HaChoshen" [one of the Warsaw editions, between the years 1875-1900].
Pasted throughout the book are wide margins (more than 10 cm); on them and on the book's sheets, are handwritten many novellae [Ashkenazi, typical of the early 20th century]. The manuscript contains all the motifs of a comprehensive composition about a book, namely: explaining the author's words, protecting the author's words from criticism by others, debate, criticism and version corrections.
The identity of the author is not mentioned in the manuscript, but from the content it is clear that he was thorough, an outstanding scholar, proficient and sharp as far as difficult and deep Talmudic matters are concerned. From the novellae it is possible to assume that he was a Posek and Torah teacher of many disciples.
In his writings he mentions numerous times that he wrote in length about it in other of his Talmudic novellae, mainly he mentions his novellae regarding Yavamut tractate (see Shmat'ta 3, chapter 8 …) as well as his glosses on Noda BeYehudah responsa (Shmat'ta 3 chapter 8). [Following are some additional references to his novellae: " I extended my novellae". " I extended the matter". "In my novellae I explained". "I extended my explanation"…]
