Autograph writing of the author in several types of ink, with additions on margins. Impressed on the spine: "Manuscript of the Maharam Deutsch".
On leaves 111-113 is a eulogy for his father R. Aharon David who died in 1878. This eulogy contains many stories recounting the history of his father and of his grandfather R. Yosef Deutsch Rabbi of Radnice. He tells that his father studied by R. Leib Gloga at the Prague Yeshiva, and after the death of R. Lieb while in the middle of his eulogy for the Maharam Bennet, his father travelled to study in the yeshiva of the Chatam Sofer. He remained there for several years and his teacher the Chatam Sofer valued him [saying that "At the time he stands to pray, he relies on the merit of R. David Prague…"].
On Leaves 121-123 is a eulogy for the Maharam Shick who died in 1879, praising him that "…He was a stronghold fighting for the Torah against the destroyers and heretics and he taught Torah with utmost devotion for more than 50 years…". On Leaf 134 is a eulogy for Rebbe Shmelke Klein Rabbi of Selish, author of Tzror HaChaim and other eulogies.

His novellae were published posthumously in the book Derushei V'Chiddushei HaRambad which was printed in Seini during the height of the Holocaust years in 1943. Some of the novellae which appear in this manuscript were printed in this book (with many changes by the editor), however a part of the novelae were not printed.
