Levush HaTechelet, and Levush HaChur, on Orach Chaim, by R. Mordechai Yaffe, author of the Levushim. With the book Eliyahu Zuta, by R. Eliyahu Shapira Rabbi of Tiktin (Tykocin). Prague: grandsons of Moshe Katz, 1701. Second edition of Eliyahu Zuta.
Various ancient ownership inscriptions: "…Ya'akov Oppenheim of Trier"; "Meir son of R. Yudel"; "Wolf H.B."; other signatures.
The handwriting of the signature "Wolf H.B." has been identified as the handwriting of the famed R. Avraham Binyamin Wolf Hamburg head of the Furth Yeshiva (1770-1850), disciple of R. Wolf Ulman dayan in Furth and of R. Meshulam Zalman HaCohen Rabbi of Furth, author of Bigdei Kehuna. He headed the Furth Yeshiva for decades and was also known for his immense wealth. At the time the maskilim (members of the Enlightenment Movement) attempted to close down the yeshiva, R. Hamburg distributed almost all his great wealth to save the yeshiva. In 1821, he endeavored to appoint the author of the Chatam Sofer to the Furth rabbinate. He exchanged responsa with the author of the Chatam Sofer and was eulogized by his son, author of the Ktav Sofer, who lavishly praised R. Hamburg's Torah genius and devotion to the Torah with all his might and wealth (D'rashot Ktav Sofer, 1992 edition, 189). His compositions were printed in Sha'ar HaZ'kenim, Simlat Binyamin, and other books. See: HaYeshiva HaRama B'Furth, Vol. 3, (especially pp. 35-111).
