Sha'agat Aryeh, by Rabbi Aryeh Leib Ginzberg, with new glosses and last kuntress of Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Leib of Vilna who wrote the glosses. Slavita, 1832. Printed by Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Shapira. [Some of the words on the title page are in red ink].
Quill tryouts and ownership notations: "Belongs to the Rabbi of Lomza the Ga'avad Rabbi Eliezer Simcha Rabinowitz". On the book-sheets are long glosses in his handwriting.
Rabbi Eliezer Simcha Rabinowitz (1832-1911) Av Beit Din of Suwalki and Lomza. An outstanding Torah genius, about whom the Rogachover commented: 'Er iz doch der Shas alien" [He himself is the Shas], see previous item. His novellae were printed in the two volumes of “Chiddushei Rabbi Eliezer Simcha” (Machon Yerushalayim, 1933-1938). There his novellae on the Sha'agat Aryeh were also printed but they are not identical to the wording of these glosses, which were written as comments on the book-sheets. To some glosses, Rabbi Eliezer Simcha added [apparently later] the words: "And in my novellae I have written extensively", but the content of several other glosses have apparently never been printed.
