The book contains 345 Halakhic queries and responses by the Maharam Schick on Orach Chaim and Yoreah Deah of the Shulchan Arukh.
The Maharam Schick (1807-1879) was born in Hungary (in what is now part of Slovakia), and was a student of the Chatam Sofer and a rabbi and Yeshiva dean in Yeirgin and Hust. Like his teacher, he fought against the Reform movement. He wrote commentaries on the Torah, the Talmud, and on the 613 commandments.
The book is divided into two parts: Orach Chaim (111 pages), and Yoreh Deah (144 pages). On the margins of some of the pages are hand-written notes.
On the title page is a seal and signature of the great scholar R. Yehoshua Lefkovitz, the last rabbi of Komarno before the Holocaust, and a hand-written ownership notation. Rabbi Lefkovitz studied in his youth in the Yeshiva of R. Shmuel Rosenberg in Unsdorf, and from there he proceeded to study in the Yeshiva of Rabbi Akiva Sofer in Pressburg. He received rabbinical ordination by his teacher Rabbi Akiva Sofer and by the Rebbe of Munkatch. He became the rabbi of Komarno and established a Yeshiva there.
Condition: Moderate. The front and back covers are detached, as is the title page. Many moth holes on the first pages.
