Signature of Rabbi “Moshe Yechiel HaLevi Epstein – The Rabbi from Ozherov” upon title page of book. Correction glosses in the rabbi’s holy handwriting throughout pages of the book. Upon page 78 the Ya'abetz writes “it is unfathomable to scorn the scholars of France for eating ox meat as stated in the letter” to which the Rabbi from Ozherov responds in handwriting: “It has turned out that the letter is a forgery”. The signature and glosses are in pencil.
