Beschreibung:

Large manuscript leaf comprised of approximately eight halachic and Talmudic responsa, handwritten by the Gaon of Radomyśl, signed by him five times. Waitzen (Hungary), 1914-1915. Torah novellae on various topics. Notes containing responsa and novellae which the Maharash jotted for himself. At the end of five sections, his signature appears with his locale and date of writing: "…Shmuel Engel of Radomysl, now an expatriate here in Waitzen". Apparently, some of the inscriptions are appendices to books he had previously written. The renowned R. Shmuel Engel, Rabbi of Radomyśl (1853-1935), a leading Galician Torah scholar, primary disciple of the author of Divrei Chaim of Sanz and of his son R. Yechezkel Halberstam of Sieniawa. Born in Tarnów (Poland, Western Galicia), he was known from his childhood as a prodigy. At the age of 17, he was ordained for the rabbinate by R. Yosef Shaul Nathanson Rabbi of Lviv and at 18, was appointed Rabbi of Biłgoraj (Poland). In 1879, forced to leave Poland, he resided for a couple of years in Rudnik at the home of his friend R. Baruch Halberstam of Gorlice and together they studied Torah, halacha and kabbalah. In 1881, he was appointed Rabbi of Dukla (Galicia) and in 1888, relocated to the Radomyśl rabbinate (Galicia). Celebrated as a leading Galician Torah scholar, he exchanged halachic and Torah correspondence with many prominent rabbis in his days. All relied on his rulings even on complex issues such as permitting agunot to remarry and others. During WWI, he exiled to the city of Waitzen and became close to the rabbi of the city R. Yeshaya Silverstein, author of Maase L'Melech. In 1918, he wandered further and moved to the city of Košice, was appointed Raavad and remained there until his death. His son R. Chaim Engel succeeded him in the Radomyśl rabbinate. R Shmuel Engel authored the eight-book Maharash Responsa series, Chiddushei Maharash on the Talmud, Siftei Maharash on the Torah and more. His biography is printed in the book Shem M'Shmuel (Mukacheve, 1940). Some of the teachings in this manuscript have never been printed and some appear in his later works, Siftei Maharash on the Torah (Parshat VaYera), and elsewhere. [2] closely written pages. 34 cm. Good-fair condition. Wear and minor tears to margins.
