Me'il Tzedaka responsa. Prague, Cheshvan 1756. Published anonymously, however the rabbis of Prague (the Noda B'Yehuda and his Beit Din) reveal in their approbation that the author is R. Jonah Landsofer. At the end of the book is an essay compiled from the books of Euclid with geometric drawings and diagrams.
On the title page are the signatures of R. "Itzik Grishaber of Krakow" and R. "Avraham Segal Pollak - Bonyhad". On page [2]: ownership stamp (in Hebrew and Hungarian) of his father, R. "Moshe [Moses] Halevi, rabbi of Bonyhad". Preceding the title page is the signature of R. "Itzik Grishaber of Krakow". The book contains dozens of long glosses in the handwriting of R. Itzik Grishaber, as well as several written by others [probably by his son R. Moshe Freund-Grishaber and by R. Moshe Pollak, rabbi of Bonyhad].
Rabbi Yitzchak Itzik Grishaber-Freund (1741-1822), was a disciple of the Nodah B'Yehuda,
and served as rabbi of Paks (Hungary) from 1782. He exchanged halachic correspondence with the Chatam Sofer who highly praised him in his writings. In 1797, he strongly opposed the reform R. Aharon Choriner who permitted eating the non-kosher fish Acipenser Ruthenus. His correspondence on the subject with the rabbis of the times was printed in his book Makel Noam (Vienna, 1799).
His son, R. Moshe Freund-Grishaber (1797-1873), was one of the leading disciples of the Chatam Sofer. After his death, R. Moshe's library passed on to the Bonyhad Yeshiva headed by R. Moshe HaLevi Pollak, rabbi and Rosh Yeshiva in Bonyhad.
