<<UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT>> . Collected novellae by students of the Chasam Sofer on Tractates Betzah, Kethuvoth, Gittin and many themes throughout the Talmud. R. Moshe Sofer is regularly cited throughout, other recorded names are R. David Spiegler (the writer’s brother-in-law) and R. Eliezer Strasser. The work is preceded by an index noting each topic discussed. Most of the novellea were written between the years 1839 and 1844, however a date as late as 1875 is also mentioned. One of the compilers was R. Judah Segal (d. 1876) who served as Dayan in Neustadt (Novomesto).
