R. Samuel Freund (1794-1881) Rosh Beth Din of Prague, author of six volumes of commentaries on Mishnah and other works, was a disciple of R. Baruch Frankel-Teomim of Leipnik and R. Bezalel Ranschburg of Prague. Also a native of Prague, R. Nachum Trebitsch (1779-1842) served as “Oberlandesrabbiner” (Chief Rabbi) of Nikolsburg, Moravia, following the death of R. Mordecai Banet in 1829. Five years following Trebitsch's own death in 1842, his position was filled by a young Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. Trebitsch's work “Kovetz,” enjoyed wide popularity, becoming a standard commentary to Maimonides' Mishnah Torah
