Autographed Handwritten Hagaos of Rabbi Meir Avraham Author of Pri Tzaddik. 1802 , Important Discovery
Shu”t Maharam Ziskind Rottenberg (Amsterdam, 1716) with autographs and handwritten hagaos by Harav Meir Avraham Klein, Av Beis Din of Tchaba and author of Pri Tzaddik.
The autographed inscription in the flyleaf relates: “I purchased from my money in honor of my Creator, from maaser funds, for… Meir Avraham son of Yoseph (בן מורנו יוסף ) …Thursday, 9 Adar I, 5462 (1802).”
An additional autographed inscription on the title page reads: “I purchased from maaser money for 12… by Meir Avraham BM"Y ( ben moraynu Yoseph)…”
The Av Beis Din of Tchaba inscribed six glosses in his holy hand. It should be noted that there are hardly any known handwritings or autographs from the Pri Tzaddik. To the best of our knowledge, the writings in the present text constitute the single largest collection of his handwritten legacy in the world.
The final leaf bears the autograph of Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Landau from year 1853, attesting that the sefer belonged to his father-in-law Harav Pinchas Dovid Klein, Av Beis Din of Bukin, who was the son-in-law of the aforementioned Harav Meir Avraham Klein, Av Beis Din of Tchaba.
