Mishnayot, Tractate Zera'im, with commentaries and addendums. Lemberg, 1869.
On protection pages, many owners' inscriptions, inscriptions and signatures of the Maharsham - Rabbi Shalom Mordechai HaCohen Schwadron Rabbi of Berezhany, who wrote and signed that he received this book from his father. His son's signature "Yitzchak HaCohen Schwadron of Potik adjacent to Buzcazc" [the city where the Maharsham formerly served as rabbi]. On the last page, stamps of his son "Yakir HaCohen Schwadron" [eldest son of Rabbi Yitzchak Rabbi of Chatzmer].
Dozens of notes on book's leaves and on leaf before title page. After comparing handwriting, most notes are in the handwriting of the Maharsham and the minority are written by his son Rabbi Yitzchak Schwadron [one note signed Yitzchak is in different handwriting from most of the notes, see Leaf 34/2].
The Maharsham, Rabbi Shalom Mordechai HaCohen Schwadron (1835-1911), a leading posek of his generation, Rabbi of Yaslovic, Potik and Berezhany, was a foremost Torah authority in Galicia and abroad. Wrote dozens of compositions, of which the following were printed: nine volumes of Maharsham Responsa, Mishpat Shalom on Choshen Mishpat, Gilui Da'at on the laws of Treifot, Da'at Torah on Shulchan Aruch, Techelet Mordechai on the Torah etc.
His son Rabbi Yitzchak Schwadron (died 1920, Otzar HaRabbanim 11051), an outstanding Torah genius, Rabbi of Chatzmer and its surroundings immigrated to Jerusalem in 1903, where his youngest son, "the Jerusalem Magid" Rabbi Shalom Schwadron was born (1912-1998). Author of Minchat Yitzchak, a commentary on the Tosefta (Jerusalem, 1910-1914, and additional volumes that were printed many years later).
