The former owner, Abraham Danzig (1748-1820), a native of Danzig, East Prussia, served as Dayan of Vilna from 1794-1812. He was related by marriage to the Vilna Gaon (their grandchildren wed). His halachic code “Chayei Adam” has remained a staple of the Jew’s spiritual diet to this day. See EJ, Vol. V, cols. 1297-8
