On the page before the title page are various inscriptions in Hebrew and other languages: "Belongs to the great luminary… Rabbi Moshe Sofer".
"This book belongs to the Ga'on and Tzaddik… from the Chatam Sofer’s family, Moshe Shmuel Glasner, Rabbi of Klausenburg and environs.” On the flyleaf is the signature of Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner (in Latin letters).

Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner (1857-1925, Otzar HaRabbanim 15664), grandson of Rabbi David Tzvi Ehrenfeld of Pressburg, son-in-law of the Chatam Sofer, succeeded his father, Rabbi Avraham Glasner, in the Klausenburg rabbinate. Author of “Dor Revi’i”, alluding to the fact that he is the “fourth generation”, descending from the Chatam Sofer. The verse “the fourth generation shall return hence” was embodied by him, as he returned to Jerusalem and was buried there.
