The copy of R. Joseph Greenwald of Tchetchowitz, the grandfather of the "Arugath HaBosem." R. Joseph Greenwald of Tchetchowitz (1802-70) was the progenitor of the famed Greenwald dynasty of Hungarian rabbis. R. Joseph's son, R. Amram Greenwald was a disciple of R. Abraham Samuel Benjamin Schreiber (author "Kethav Sopher"). R. Amram's son, R. Moses Greenwald of Chust (1853-1910), authored Responsa "Arugath HaBosem." R.
