1. Simlah Chadasha, Bechor Shor and Tevuot Shor, on the laws of shechita. Zholkva, 1811. At top of title page, 3 rows of a rubbed out nice dedication handwritten in pen. Under the erasure, the dedication can be read: "…from Menachem Katz Prostitz here in Zhelym [Sopronkeresztur] and its region".
Rabbi Menachem Katz Prostitz (1795-1891), was a prominent disciple of the Chatam Sofer who mentions him by name several times in his novella on Chulin. From 1834, he served as Rabbi of Ragendorf.

That same year he was appointed as Rabbi of Sopronkeresztur (Zhelym). He was one of the leading rabbis of Hungary. Among the most renowned of the disciples of his yeshiva were Rabbi Moshe Greenwald, author of Arugot HaBosem, Rabbi Aharon Chaim son of the Maharam Schick, etc.
