Misped Gadol Vekaved [eulogy of R. Mordechai Banet by his son; with Kol Nehi, additional material in Hebrew and Judaeo-German]

R. Mordechai Banet (1753-1829) of Nikolsburg, was the “Oberlandesrabbiner” (Chief Rabbi) of Moravia and a colleague of Rabbis Akiva Eger and Moshe Sopher. He authored a number of scholarly works including responsa Har Ha-Mor and Parashath Mordechai. Banet was held in the highest esteem by the Chatham Sopher who called him a ”Gaon Olam” and “Gadol Ha-Dor” in his eulogy. This responsum was published in Har Ha-Mor no. 38.
