From the library of R. Shimon Sofer (1820-83) - the Michtav Sofer. He was the son of the Chasam Sofer and grandson of Akiva Eger. R. Shimon Sofer presented this book as a wedding gift (”doron derashah.”) The recipient proudly writes on the verso of the back cover that he received it from the great Gaon of Cracow. The writer of marginalia mentions “Hachacham …Hillel Mori.”
