summary

With signatures and stamps of previous owners: Bunim (or Simcha Bunim) Eger (1770-1829) was the younger brother of the preeminent Talmudist Rabbi Akiva Eger of Posen (Akiva Eger the Younger). Both brothers, Akiva and Bunim, were natives of Eisenstadt. Bunim served as Rabbi of Mattersdorf from 1810 until his death. His son Moses (whose copy we present) was rabbi and preacher in Hamburg. Both brothers, Akiva and Bunim would sign their surname as "Ginz" (rather than Eger). See EJ, Vol. VI, col. 472. See also Lot 87.
