Seder Mishnah, Part I, on the Rambam's Sefer HaMada, by R. Binyamin Wolf Boskowitz, Rabbi of Kolín and Bonyhád (son of R. Shmuel Kelin, the Machatzit HaShekel). Prague, 1820. First edition, published by the author's son some two years after his death in 1818.

On front endpapers, various inscriptions, including ownership inscription of (?) or dedication (?) to
"R. Tzvi Hirsch Heller, Rabbi of Óbuda (Budapest)", and additional inscriptions, including a kvittel inscription.

R. Tzvi Hirsch Heller (1776-1835), leading Hungarian rabbi, known as "R. Hirsch Charif" for his brilliance and sharp wit. He served as rabbi of Brigel, Galicia (present-day Brzesko, Poland), and later as prominent yeshiva dean in Brody. He was compelled to flee the city after he was informed on, whereupon he reached Hungary and served as rabbi of Bonyhád, Ungvár (Uzhhorod) and Óbuda (Budapest). He edified prominent disciples, including Rebbe Tzvi Hirsch of Liska and R. Shlomo Ganzfried, author of Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. He authored Chidushei Tiv Gittin and other works. His widow married the Chatam Sofer [and apparently brought part of his library along with her to her second husband].

Several lengthy learned glosses (somewhat trimmed) by an unidentified writer.
