The first and last pages contain the author's signature. Also an "approbation" from his friend Mordechai Cahana of Trebisov.
Rabbi Avraham Yehuda Licht of Presov (Slovakia) was a disciple of the Da'at Sofer [as the Da'at Sofer wrote in his approbation to Netivot HaChinuch]. He made aliya to Eretz Israel. Was a scholar, well-known educator, wrote important books and articles: Netivot HaChinuch, Torat HaChinuch, Kitzur Menorat HaMaor (in preparing the latter, he consulted with his teachers, the Da'at Sofer and the Chazon Ish – See: Pe'er HaDor – Chayei HaChazon Ish, Part 4 page 202). He wrote articles about the life of Rabbi Yehuda Asad, workbooks for studying gemara and mishna, and more.
This notebook was probably written in his youth, while he was studying in yeshivot in Hungary, and the "approbation" was written by a boy with whom he studied, from the city Trebisov, Slovakia.
