Manuscript, Talmudic Novellae on Tractate Ketubot, by a Disciple of the Chatam Sofer in the Pressburg Yeshiva - With Many Novellae from his Teacher the Chatam Sofer
Handwritten booklet, novellae on Talmudic topics of tractate Ketubot and other topics. Autograph by an unidentified writer - a disciple of the Chatam Sofer. Pressburg (Bratislava), [written between 1807 and Tishrei 1839].
Handwritten booklet, with novellae on Talmudic topics from the beginning of the HaMadir chapter of Tractate Ketubot, and other topics. Autograph. We were unable to identify the author, yet the writings indicate that he was a disciple of the Chatam Sofer, and that these teachings were recorded during the lifetime of his teacher. This manuscript seems to have been recorded by a young student. The title page of the booklet features many inscriptions and quill trials, including the inscription: "This notebook… Pressburg…". His teacher, the Chatam Sofer, is mentioned repeatedly throughout the booklet: "And A.M.V.H.G (=Adoni, Mori VeRabbi HaGaon - my master and teacher, the outstanding Torah scholar) raised a difficulty"; "And one can say according to what my teacher explained"; "But my teacher raised doubts on this"; "And I heard from my teacher"…
Some of the novellae he quotes in the name of his teacher are equivalent to those printed in Chiddushei HaChatam Sofer. For instance, a large part of the contents of the first pages of this booklet, were printed in Chiddushei HaChatam Sofer on Tractate Ketubot at the beginning of the HaMadir chapter. Likewise, the difficulty raised on p. 24a also appears in Chiddushei HaChatam Sofer on tractate Ketubot folio 100b (section beginning "Ein La"), where the Chatam Sofer writes regarding this question "I found this very difficult". This booklet presents an additional resolution to the difficulty, which was not published in Chiddushei HaChatam Sofer.
